320 to 325. E34 lump viable?

[JohnnyRob]

From what I can gather the e34 88-90 has the m20 engine as per the e30.

Would a 525 of this era be a good donor for a 2.5 lump in my 2.0 tourer?

Would all the 'bits' change over the same as a e30 2-5 donor?

The engine from a 525 with the m20 engine will fit the e30, you wont need to change anything over.

Marvo. Thanks. Will the ECU and oil cooler fit too?

Looks to me that nasty E34s are a lot cheaper than equivalent e30s... ;)

Hey, E34s are great

[JohnnyRob]

Hey, E34s are great

Agreed.

What I meant was in relation to nasty E34s as opposed to E34s; hence the raping of the engine & ancillaries prior to the ceremony "of the weighing in" ;)

The ecu will fit, not sure about oil cooler.

I think you will find the engine mounts are different also

[Doddy]

the 320 ones will fit or gsf sell them for £15 the pair as i have just renewed mine

I think spadge means the alloy mounts.
