318ti with M52 2.8 engine swap
 

Hi guys,

Wondered if anyone can confirm the following for me.

Can I fit an M52B28 into my 318ti by using all of the original 1.9 liter engine tranny parts?

My plan is to buy a crashed E39 528i and swap the engine. Only trouble is manual cars are rare as rocking horse sh*t in Japan, so I need to use the flywheel, clutch, gearbox etc. from my 1.9L engine and fit it all to the 2.8 engine.

Is everything interchangeable?

Will the clutch hold out for long with the 2.8 engine, or can I upgrade the clutch plate and cover later on?

Thanks in advance.

This is a complete manual tranny setup from a Z3 1.9 manual. Does anyone know if it will fit onto an M52B28 engine? Trying to manual swap a friends Z3 Coupe 2.8

Can anyone give me a reply on this please. I now have....

a E39 528i automatic
and a E36 318ti manual

Planning on doing the swap soon.

Thanks in advance.
