it certainly will as my mate is halfway through the conversion, you will need e34 g/box, ecu+loom, manifolds, radiator, hoses, the most important thing is the engine obviously, theres probably loads more i havent mentioned.

And an E34 525i/520i M50 sump and oil pick up pipe - the E36 325i M50 sump etc will not work.
