Right guys,getting all excited.Been offered an E28 535i manual for Ԛ£100.Got very good running gear :D but tatty body.
I am trying to sort out getting it home about 100 miles,cause its got no MOT/tax etc but trying to get round this :?
Anyway ive tryed doing a search as to whats actually involved in swapping but it just bringing all recent posts up and nothing specific :mad:
I am assuming this is the best model for conversion parts ie radiator etc!
Any help or links would be appreciated :cool:

Total BMW mag did a report on a 3.5 e30 engine swop, could copy it and send it to you if you like.
