I am swapping 3.0l into my TI second week in March, have a few questions

[vigilantemotors]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a 318ti that I'm putting a 95m3 motor in. I have almost all the parts finally, but I had a few questions, can you use these existing parts for the swap??


Can the following parts from my 318ti be used on the M3 motor/trans etc:

AC Lines
Power Steering Pump
Alternator
Motor / Trans Mounts
Transmission Bell Housing Bolts

Thanks a ton, I am new here but will be a permanent member!

Also, as long as I swap out the ECU and engine harness I can still use the keys that came with the car right?!

Sort of off topic, but will a 95 M3 coupe rear subframe fit into a ti?

I'm sure I'll have more questions later!

AC Lines
> you have to use the M3 lines. I suggest new ones along with the o-rings.

Power Steering Pump
> and the hoses from the M3

Alternator
>again, must be from the M3

Motor / Trans Mounts
>Motor absolutely, trans should be 320i with mods to mount as needed

Transmission Bell Housing Bolts
>ti or M3 will work fine

Also, as long as I swap out the ECU and engine harness I can still use the keys that came with the car right?!
> as long as both cars are OBD-I engine management version.
