its another how to thread

alright people i have purchased from my bro in law a 1989 320i coupe which has blown a core plug so i ordered 1 online (and yes i made sure they were for a 20.l) and when i went to fit it the plug was to small so now i suspect the engine has been swapped for a 2.5 as the core plug needed is 45mm.......
