Default m50b25 swap Q and A

Reeto
I’m new to bmw world, after driving my compact for a while I feel it could do with more power, so I’ve decided to go turbo with the m50 - but first the engine swap
Before I start it I’ve got a couple of questions that I couldn’t find an answer online to

1) Is my V reg (1999) compact obd1 or obd2 (obd2 i think)
2) This is the engine I’m looking at buying will this be obd1 or obd2 (obd1 i think)

3) If they are different obd1/2 how hard is it to wire the engine to the car
4) Is there anything else I’ll need that not listed in the sale (clock’s ews unit key and chip)


I’ve never done a bmw engine swap before so any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
