M54 engine swap???
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2017 6:01 pm
A friend of mine is looking to do some work on his mates E30. At the moment it's not much more than a shell, but he's got hold of an M54B30 engine and is considering fitting that. I'm perfectly happy with maintaining/working on my car although kept standard have no idea when it comes to engine swaps etc.
On the E46 wiki I found "The M54 can be used but the ECU requires 'flashing' in order to compensate for the lack of electronics in a standard E30. " quoted, however I've found very little other information.
Has anyone any experience/advice or is it not worth the hassle and sourcing an M52?
Cheers for any advice,
Jack
