E34 engine upgrade.
525. '90.
Sounds mad but chassis and extras are worth keeping but engine is shot. Any ideas if m5 engine or 24v sport version would fit? Car is a 525se, '90, E34.

All sort sof larger engines were available in the model. The trick will be to get the engine ECU from whatever donor car you find. -Fred W |

Cheers, I'm sure any of those engines would fit, and somewhere, someone's done it. The key is to contact them and get the scoop. Of course, engines originally offered with that body style would be easier. Matt O. |

There always seem to be some expensive hard to source parts needed if you don't. Helps with loom layouts etc as well. -- *Time is fun when you're having flies...
