click on the search button,put in m50 developments, there is a conclusive thread about 38 pages long,

but if u not bothered then,

e34 525 engine is best,dont need to change sump,etc

e21 g/box mounts,e36 gearbox,e36 325 front prop and linkages,golf servo from mkII golf,e34 525 throttle cable,etc etc if u have question pm me but mine wont start so i might not be the best person to ask ha ha
