Hi have bought a 1990 e30 318is with a knackered engine and have managed to get e36 318is engine complete
I know the whole inlet manifold side and sump have to be changed over but notice the p/steering and alternator and crankshaft pulleys use different belts can i just swop them over to the e30 ones?
If anyone has done this swop advice would be much appreciated
regardsChris :bmw:

I think you can just leave the belts there and use the E36 pump and alternator. Someone will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong :)
