m52 from a e38

[thesaint]

hi, just collecting parts for my m52 conversion, does the sump fit from the e38? And thats with the e36 mounting arms on e28 m5 rubbers.

Also anyone have a wiring diagram?

Gearbox - a e30 318i gearbox fit? what linkage would be needed, or is it better just the use the 318is gearbox that seems to be reccomended. (i already have the 318i gearbox)

Thanks

Some info here, for some reason the pics aren't working though?

Pretty sure it does using the same principals as the 318is box/prop/diff combo. Again more info in the designated section or here:

Have a read through the M50/M52 section, it has all been asked before

thanks for your reply, yeah i have read through the the m52 section, but the pictures have disappeared for the wiring hence asking, and doenst have the info for the linkages using a 318i gearbox. (m40 318i gearbox is what i have btw)

I think it is 320i linkages still but not 100%

Yes 320i linkage is what has been used for mine.
