Kodachrome 151 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) I'm putting one into an e28! Yo make it easier I'm getting premade engine mounts for any m5X in the e28 (from e28goodies, e30 versions exist) and also a plug and play ECU plus custom harness to allow easy install: http://www.redline-motorsport.com/main/page_e30_adapters.html You will also need m52 exhaust manifolds.

Southerner 146 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 Plenty of info online about these swaps, E30 wiki r3vlimited Google in general Theres also a project swap on here that Modz is doing under the project area with the same motor One thing to be wary is if this is your first project swap, that it might look cheap on the surface but it often snowballs, so you have to be prepared for that. Youll also probably want to sort suspension, wheels, brakes, diff out at the same time. The motor is the cheap part, 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
