you will need:

engine, box, ecu and complete wiring loom
custom prop
Diff
Rad ( not sure if m5 one works)

probably missed lots of small bits that you need out. Speak to Karan as he is doing this conversion.

If you use the dog leg box i think you will need an M3 dif, the ratio is 3.25

Karan is using the later 3.6 M5 engine from the E34.

For the section on the 335, you don't need a translator. They've put an engligh button

Good luck with the conversion hass, just about to start mine
