rite,, well the m20 engine and box is out,, i have started preping m30 and have changed sump gasket,, and rocker and timing chain gaskets, fitted the spigot bearing and had to order flywheel bolts from bmw & wont be here till fri!!! so i have used m50 bolts for now,, as i dont think i can wait that long,
Am going to used the m30 loom which originaly came from 1992 735i,, Will i need to change any of the wiring to make the engine run?? i will be using the 7 series ecu

I think theres only 3 wires to swap in order to get the blower, windows and eco dash guage to work.
Its all in the sticky mate.
