The M3 ECU does have an immobaliser built in, it's called the EWS system, so if you are looking to buy an engine already removed from a car, make sure you get the ECU, loom, key, receiver ring from around ignition barrel, EWS boxes too. They all have to be from the same car or it will never start.

These cars came with an immobliser built into the engine ECU,BMW call it EWS.
It is essential that you get the entire system from the donor.
Engine loom
ECU
EWS module
Surround to ign lock
Correct key
You will also need to understand enough about modern car electronics to make it all work....

might be best to buy a crashed m3 then and strip it,do all the m3,s have immobalisers in them,if so could i get a programable ecu and sort it that way,remember its going in my opel manta,which one is best 6 pot to get.

i have a spare 3.2 evo ecu/ews set-up.
it's the ecu/ews grey box and black box/ key.
pm me if you need it.

if you go with the 'newer' e46 m3 engine, the ecu can be re-flashed so that ews isn't an issue. give 'uwem3' a shout, he has a 'contact' that can do this.

cheers mate,havent got anything yet just searching to see whats involved in the wireing and general price of things.its gonna happen just seeing how much its gonna cost.

i break e36 evo's in my spare time, and have a complete engine/6 speed gearbox etc here, pm me if your serious about buying one.

Well guys,i now have an e36 m3 evo engine & 6spd box,will start to fit into my manta gte very soon,many thanks to glenn,should go well.

This is going to be an interesing project

Get some pictures up

some one over in ireland has done a similar conversion.

seen the same engine in an MG midget as well !

worth doing

The midget was lunatic the steerign was so modfied to the the s52 it did not work any more, kind of pot me off when i went to look at it.

And the manta was for sale a month or so on drift works

can get the EWS deleted on that as well. And some other "upgrades"

Engine going in very soon,have to cut out some baulkhead first,and then drop in engine to see what is what.

Pics are a must with this matey.

As many as possible please

E36 bulkhead/trans tunnel section would come in handy I reckon
