A buddy of mine has a 2000 323i that he's starting to prep/save up for a s54 swap... and will be practically giving me his old parts. From wikipedia Quote: M52TUB25 The M52 was upgraded to dual-vanos in 1999, this improved low rpm torque. Applications: 1999-2000 BMW E46 323i 1998-2001 E39 523i 1998-2001 E36/7 Z3 | So an e36/7 had this exact motor, dual vanos m52? Could that ecu/wiring/etc run an m52tub25 from an e46 and would it fit in my car?

I wouldn't spend a $1k on changing it over to a s5x when a s5x only costs a bit more. That would be silly... And it looks like the only cost would be in z3 wiring/dme, etc and a few accessories for fit. Also, he's pretty sure his block is aluminum... I can't find any documentation that says a my2000 323 would have an aluminum block, but he's fairly positive. If thats the case it only weighs a couple kilos more than an m44.

All of which im sure you already knew so, sorry for the less than helpful post. __________________ -Alex | | | 01-21-2015, 08:40 PM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: uk Posts: 13 | Hi, Im in a similar situation, ive been given a 1999 323i se, 72,000 miles, it has a couple of mods, rising rate fuel pressure regulator, induction kit & superchip. The rear bushes are shot & theres rust on both the arches so I was considering pulling the motor, ecu, loom, cooling system, brakes etc to bolt into my 1998 E36 318ti. Is this gonna be possible without major headaches? Any info would be appreciated! | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
