I'm going to pickup a m52b28 this weekend, it's from an auto 5 series with a broken autobox. The guy has tones of other stuff from e30's that he's braking incl a m20 flywheel.
What flywheel/clutch do most use with this engine and which gearbox? I've got a M42 gearbox in the car at the min (thats what I'm assuming is attached to the m42) that I was going to use unless I could get my hands on a b28 gearbox.
Should I ask the guy for the m20 flywheel or have I no use at all for it? Will the starter from the autobox be of use to me?
Engine/flywheel/clutch/gearbox combo

Most people use the M20 flywheel,clutch and a M20 starter.
You can use a M52 box but comes with more fabbing work.
You`l also need a spigot bearing as it`s an auto engine.
Dont forget the ews system as well, as the engine more than likely wont start without it.
Best thing to do is sit and trawl through the m5/2 transplant section (may take some time) to give you all the info that you will need.

Ok thanks guys, iS box, m20 starter and flywheel.
The m50 development thread is very daunting cause it's so long. Unfortunately I just moved to a new apartment and don't have internet access (I don't know how long I can manage that).
There doesn't seem to be much useful on the 528 auto but the guy has a m20 flywheel and I'll ask him for a starter to.
