Gents,

Please can you post some good quality engine pictures to show what brackets are unused and can be removed (a description would suffice) and also what brackets are needed where and for what?

Thanks in advance.

Stripped but not smoothed. I simply removed the brackets not needed by the m52 and relocated the washer tank.

I'm in the process of prepping my bay for its m52, im keeping my washer bottle and ABS so all I'll be removing is the coil braket and the airbox brackets I think. I'll also be moving the battery into the boot.

Jim, anymore info on where you've hidden your washer bottle?

You will have trouble fitting the standard airbox around the abs unit, it's much bigger than a e30 one. I ended up relocating the ABS pump and making a bracket to hold the e36 airbox. Pics are in my thread somewhere
