Well guys, it's been pretty quiet here. Probably all the questions have been answered already which is a good thing 😃 I've finally gotten back into things on my M54 Swap. Here's the latest on it: https://youtu.be/c6wn4wScH_M As said in the video, I do want some input on whether to keep the sound dea...

Hey Rick,

I'm interested in most bits that you've there to go - I've dropped you a PM there. You can get back to me when you get a chance.

I'm sure we'd all like to know what was the reason not for not goin the M54 Route?

No, as the oil pump is completely different Got lucky actually as they had the TU one available and are sending that to me - So delighted with it. Thanks Dan as I know for a fact, I would've only looked at it once I received it! https://youtube.com/shorts/7NE_hgcdSl4?si=jiTcqBaOHPlXIIUF E38 728i Su...

No problem, if you need any conversion parts manifolds/exhaust/steering linkage etc you know where I am

I have had a skip through the website and I know I'll be in touch in due course.

Holding to get the engine and key bits over to the E30 first, that's the plan anyway

Yes they are the same shape as the E34 M50 sump, you need the pickup from a 728i M52TU engine though as that will bolt straight onto the M54 oil pump Thanks Dan, that's good to know. I actually never asked them what m52 it was. Too late now I think 😅 So will see. If it's not m52tu, would the pickup...

Hey all, Surprisingly this forum has gone quiet even though there would've been more and more M54 swaps done vs a number of years back. But that's just my opinion. Anyway - I've been lurking away on the zone for the past 3 years or so since I've gotten my E30 and definitely gotten a lot of help in a...

Wills Wheels is the first one that comes to mind Sorry for the late response. Yes, I was in touch with him - Definitely the right place to look for the classic BMW parts for us. The E36 arms turned out to be still expensive than the one I've shared earlier so I'll more likely get those. But definit...

Over 200 euros plus the VAT and handling charges when they land here, you are better off finding an E36 breaker on facebook or similar and buying some used arms, get them vapour blasted if you want them to look nice Thanks Dan, makes sense - I'm fortunate enough to be in Ireland so EU stuff is bett...

Found these as an aftermarket new part. Will check with local BMW to check if they're still available and how expensive vs these. More than likely will go with these unless I find a dirt cheap used set. https://www.all4drift.com/p/692/steel-engine-mounts-holders-e36-e30-swap-m50-m52 Have to drill in...

Thanks lads for the quick responses 👍🏼 @Dan, I was trying to source the arms and mounts new from online parts stores but can't find any - Is eBay the best bet, there are some new mounts as you shared earlier but arms are all used. Was hoping to get new ones so the bay is nice and clean as much as po...

@miks15 I'm at the same crossroads as yourself but not that advanced, just at the planning stage.

I have a 05 330ci complete donor. Can you confirm what arms and mounts you ended up using for the final drop?

Thanks

Noor

Thanks

Thanks to everyone in this topic I just installed mine and made a quick video too showing the setup. Hopefully will help someone.
