Hi, hopefully one of you guys can help!! I need to replace my engine in my m52 e46 320i cabby, and I have found a m52 e46 323i cabby engine for sale. Just needed to know if I would need anything else or will my existing engine parts bolt straight on and loom be a plug and play install? Thanks

It'll go in but you'll need the manifolds and loom from the 320Ci engine - it's an M54 btw. The M52TU and M54 bare engines are externally identical.
