Hi guys as i previously mentioned i am looking to put a 325i lump into my 320i. Can anyone tell me if a 525i 12 valve unit is the same. I am thinking that it will be easier to find a 525i lump and could maybe get one out of an auto which is less likely to have been bullied. Any help will be great. Cheers
