Bet it sounded lovely!!


Really want to go ahead and do this conversion, I've been moved nearer home with my job so I'm going to save the money up that I would normally have spent on fuel and get the conversion done, hopefully nearer the end of the year sometime.

Thanks for that Dan.

Just a quick question. Don't know if anyone will be able to help me or not. I'm thinking about sticking a V8 engine in to an E30, M62 or M60 4.0L. I think (need to do some more research on that one!) Even though it's a V8 therefore being a pretty big engine I believe it's still a light engine for it...

Not so straight forward to fit then, it is a pretty huge engine mind. It's defnietly something I'm going to look at as a trackday project. Thanks for all the advice Bigdek, it's much appreciated, and fair do's on you for pulling off the conversion too. Take it easy.

Regards, Marc.

Yeh, I bet they are. I'm looking at possibly doing this conversion as a trackday project in the near future. Was it difficult to fit the engine in, are there any modifications needed due to the weight of engine or is it just the usual wiring problems etc?

That's well cheap!

Bloody hell you got lucky there, one hell of a engine for that price. Handy too with the manual gearbox, they're usually automatic aren't they?

That would be a better idea actually, how much did you get yours for if you dont mind me asking? Just been trawling some through of the posts and seen yours, looks very nice.


Was it difficult to fit?

About how much do these engines go for, M60 or M62?


I cant seem to find any second hand priced engines at all on the internet, are there any special B.M.W. breakers that might do one?
