I think as long as that year Z3 is still cable throttle it will work out. The E46’s have an electronic throttle and swap gets complicated.
Also, depending on your goals, you may be better off with...

I think if you have a reliable M52 engine ready to swap in with all the accessories, swap wouldn't be that hard in a couple weekends. Unfortunately, my junkyard M52 didn't have a lot of the parts and...

Wow, I'm surprised the crank doesn't look worse. At least the diagnosis was fairly easy. Looks salvageable, but only the machine shop will know for sure.
If you are happy with the 4 cylinder and...

Might be less headache to swap in a junkyard seat or take this as a sign to upgrade to a new, nicer seat.

I haven't tackled this yet, but preparing too when I get done with machine shop.
From my research, the cable is going to only reach to a certain area. Check RealOEM diagrams around there. There's a...

I think I figured it out. According to J!M, sounds like the 328 harness is a better option. I'm heading in this direction unless I hear otherwise.

So the junkyard M52 I got is from a Z3 (production 8-14-98) but the engine electrical harness was chopped (boo).

I would locate the OEM part number on RealOEM and see if the eBay listing includes that number.
Wait, that second kit only includes 1 seal, see note "Important: The listing only includes the item(s)...

Just saw that your swap is running, congratulations.
I picked up an aluminum block M52 and have been going through it.
What clutch did you end up using? I've got to get a flywheel + clutch,...

I'm pretty sure either the coupe or the sedan door cards will fit a ti. I've been eyeing a pair of these for my car also, but I have lots to do before then.

Not much help

I'm working on the same type of a build, a good way behind you though.

I don't have any spring recommendations, but would suggest you look elsewhere, this forum is pretty quiet.
Try researching...

swap findings

I'm also working on an M52 swap, though sometimes it seems more like researching & less doing.

As far I've found, if you delete the SAP, you're going to get CEL.
There's 2 solutions.

Things to do

I'm working on the same swap, except I'll have to buy an engine harness + other stuff. The M52 aluminum motor I bought was stripped of lots of parts. Based on my research, here's what I'm doing while...

Make sure the body is solid, doesn't have to be pretty, but if it has a lot of rust, don't bother. You'll end up with an empty wallet and heartbreak.
But if it's decent and only $250,...

I bought my blown Ti for $600. Stock, no mods. I wouldn't expect much for yours since someone will have to invest quite a bit to get running. Maybe try finding a new mechanic to do swap? At least...
