I think I might have outright mentioned my donor engine, as well as some of the running gear, coming from a crashed & dereg'd car when going through cert on my 325i to 330i swap, never got any further questions on that point. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should be fine, I've never seen the source of the drivetrain questioned during certification. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
