I have been offered an m52b28 out of a e38 7 series. Would this need the same mods as one out of an e34? Is 400 for everything with 147k on one it a good deal?

Bargain, has the correct sump for the E30, if the loom is still intact I may be interested, or could do you a swap for an E36 loom

Probably an auto so may well have had an easier life! Any history with it?

Its an auto yes, has recent history. the gearbox went out in it. everything is still in tact. I didnt realize this was the correct sump, everything I have been reading has said to use a e34 m50b25 sump. I know of the stickies in this forum, but is there one out there with a list of everything that could be used?

DanThe- I plan to go to you for the harness mod, but what is the advantage over one to the other?

I dont think the E38 loom would be any good for an E30, but im expecting it will be useful for my auto E34 winkeye
