Guest Hal Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 If I remember correctly, the electronics will be a bitch. Most of those swaps can be done, but, it's a good bit of money. I can't remember if the M54 uses the drive by wire or not, if so, fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 When I was going to buy an E30, I read into these types of swaps. Like Hal said, wiring is a bitch. This is Pat BTW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Pat BTW... how hard is the wiring? is that the only issue? would you need different motor mounts or transmission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'm not sure about the mounts or tranny. The wiring is going to be damn hard from what I've read. I was reading more into an M54 to S54 swap, and I know the guy that did that was an MIT grad (I think in electrical engineering). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kidneyboy Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 And a hack job, that car was done VERY poorly. Do an S50/52 swap. there is a ton of info on this and the motors are fairly easy to come by. Go over to http://www.r3vlimited.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
