ive replied to your pm mate,,,,

to go m52 you would need the engine, loom, ecu and ews gear......

mechanicly they are identical in the sense that the mounts, arms, e34 sump,gearbox combos ect ect ect are the same

it really is a piece of p i s s and a job i did in a day! :wink:

I like the sound of that....

Let me hammer the shit out of the M50 on track and then review next steps.

What's the wiring like for the m52? Thinking about doing this in the new year with cams and 2.5 inlet manifold maybe... Thanks :-)
