Plenty of parts list threads In the m50 section which will help you, and pics in my progress thread step by step to give you a better idea. Can't put up a link to it I'm afraid as I'm on my phone but search my name in the m50 section and you will find it :D

Btw, my m50 swap came from an e34 525i. Best place to start as the sump ect is the right way around 8)
