Re:

Would same mounts as recommended for M5x swaps work? As in e28 M5 mounts or the 535i motor mounts work? They aren't as expensive.

Re: Are e36 coolant radiators interchangeable?

I mean changing entire system. Keep just one with integrated tank, get rid of that other expansion tank. By looks of it it should work but want to be sure before i remove stuff. Looking at various pics online I saw e30 M5x swaps using both types of radiator set ups.

Are e36 coolant radiators interchangeable?

Hi

Would radiator with not integrated expansion tank could be changed with radiator that has coolant expansion tank integrated?

Both cars are 328i with climate control. One is made 1998 other 1997.

Re: m50b25 swap donor car please help

Sump and pickup tube should be ok. Engine mounts/gear box mounts will be needed (from 535 x2 for engine mounts and e21 for gear box x2). E36 engine arms will be needed. Just keep everything e34/e30 related (engine bits, wiring, gear box stuff, diff, drive train, radiator, houses, ECU, wiring loom, m...

As far as I read:
Speed signal comes from differential. On facelift modles it easy - its in a loom, on pre face lift you need to run custom wire do dash cluster or smth. (I might be wrong, sorry if I am)
