Welcome 
I guess you mean the M52 B23? (or is it B25?) Anyway its a 2.5, so not a bad option, but unless you have the engine already get an M52B28 in there and tune it ;)
Lots of 24 valve cars here

Fitting the M52B23 is exactly the same as fitting as fitting the M52B28, and largely the same as fitting the M50B25. All the info you need is in the epic thread mentioned above, and, as you will see, there is no one correct way of doing it.
P.S: If your car is left hand drive, a considerable amount of the info on here will not be relevant.

Plus, it will also respond a lot better to any mods you do than an M50 would

M52B23 is incorrect!

Do these M52/b25's have an alloy block like the b28?
