hello all
was just wondering if any of the fella's out there that have done or are in the process of doing the M50 conversion
would be able to put up a list of the bits needed to do the conversion
not so much the basics like suspension, brakes and that sort of stuff
just a list of bits needed to get the engine seated and running
any chance fellas?

This was my solution:
M50 E34 engine,gearbox and loom. (E34 has correct sump and oil pick up).
Standard rad, fitted with 5 series or 7 series aircon electric fan.
E36 aluminium engine mounts.
E34 M50 engine mount rubbers
Standard E30 gearbox crossmember, with E36 mounts.
E36 gear linkage.
E30 325 prop shaft
E36 front exhaust manifold
E36 rear exhaust manifold, cut and shut.
M50 inlet manifold will foul the brake servo. There have been long and detailed discussions on here on how to overcome this.
