Hi I would like to put a 1991 518i engine in a 1990 318i 4dr saloon, is this possible, and if so are there any complications or would it be fairly straight foward? is there anything I would have to change or modify?
Cheers,
Paul G.

both are M40 engines so no issues to sepak of dude, might have to swop the sump and oil pickup pipes over, its been a long time since I saw an e34 518i

When I sold my M40 the guy said it was going straight into a 518i
I think its a case of change the engine mounts, jobs a good un.
