E46 M52TUB28 advice

[Corasdad]

Would this be a good engine swap for my e30 auto, I would want to keep the e46 auto box, what else would be need as wiki doesn't seem to be working.

Any advice would be great

Yes it would be suitable but I'm still not sure you could use the E46 auto. The E46 tunnel is a lot wider than the E30 and the E46 auto would need a lot of wiring. Manual is much easier.

Try to PM or get in touch with DanThe, He has done more of these than most and makes many of the bits you will need to make it easy. You can also find him here.

Wiki can be tricky at the moment for some, try it with a VPN if you have one or different browser. Also try deleting the site cookies. It is working fine for me at ATM

So if I get the same engine but with e46 manual gearbox that would work?

Good luck finding a manual box, I would stick to the auto but that is just me .

So can I use the auto box that's already fitted to my car, I have tried researching but there is very little about engine swaps with auto boxs
