Ok, it's about time the bmw got a thread of it's own! ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) My mate kiwi decided he needed a new toy to play with, it had to be fast, v8, and rear wheel drive. We looked at a few options but nothing off the shelf really stood out as "fun", so then we looked into engine swaps into various cars. Eventually we decided a bmw e30 with a v8 swap would be a perfect starting point for a project, being light and rear wheel drive. But what engine to fit? Kiwi would have been happy with a tuned rover v8, but I think a German car should have a German engine, and since Mercedes don't have a v8 with a manual gearbox that just left bmw e34 5 series within our budget. As luck would have it this turned up on ebay the following week: ![](http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh498/carat36amg/bmw%20e30%20m60%20v8/1811_zps2fe9c731.jpg) ![](http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh498/carat36amg/bmw%20e30%20m60%20v8/1810_zpsd3a31933.jpg) ![](http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh498/carat36amg/bmw%20e30%20m60%20v8/1809_zps1b67ad03.jpg) ![](http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh498/carat36amg/bmw%20e30%20m60%20v8/1983_zps3e8ff3be.jpg) ![](http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh498/carat36amg/bmw%20e30%20m60%20v8/1984_zps14a0e6b4.jpg) A 1996 e34 540i touring with a 6 speed manual, perfect! After an interesting test drive by the seller without the traction control on, a deal was struck at 1200 cash and we headed home. So now we had the engine donnor, we needed a car to fit it in. The next few months were spent driving up and down the m40 looking at every "rust free" e30 we could find, unfortunately rust free they were not! Then we went to look at a 320 in deepest Essex...

I don't think this is an ews fault, the ignition lights should come up even with the immobilizer active. Have you checked the main relay?

Why couldn't you jump it from the front? That normally works.

I need to find out the paint code so I can get the car resprayed next month, anyone know where I can find it? It's not on the VIN plate. ![](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/GTOScott/S124%20and%20C124/7B11B073-152E-4B4B-8686-B37C25171C30_zpsiwqnyh0o.jpg) It's on the plate to the right of the bonnet latch, the one with the stamped holes in it. Post a pic of that plate and I'll tell you the paint codes.

If you fit a facelift bonnet to an earlier car, you'll need the headlights to complete the swap. The glass is a different shape.

Just in case you didn't know, the ews unit and key are coded to the engine ecu. You'll need all 3 if you want to swap it.

You can have an air bag next to a mac strut, then remove the spring. Cant fit one where the spring used to be though.

I did that, landed up gaining a manual box and a supercharger. Not that I'm trying to give you ideas of course. Hint hint. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Take your mechanics advice and fit a zetec in there, that 24v cossie is over-rated.
Been there, done that.....

I need it for a 2.5 diesel 190d. So will see if it's suitable. As far as I can work out it will physically fit. But the shift points might be all wrong. Also there is some talk about the gearboxes from the smaller engines not being able to cope with the torque.. I'm sure it will be fine and but need to get some more advise first. What's the possibility of putting it on a pallet for me? A pallet is not a problem, and it will fit strait on your engine. As for the torque rating, the om602 5cyl in your car is not going to trouble it as I'm running one coupled to a 6cyl diesel. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

It came out of a w124 220ce with the m111 4cyl, but is the same box for the m102/m103 found in the 190. Mileage was 137000 and working fine when removed, the car it came from I have converted to an m104 6cyl manual so box was no longer needed.

I've got a 4 speed auto here with the torque converter, and a flexplate if you need it. Looking for £95 collected from buckinghamshire.
