I was trying to find information on swapping an M50 into my 318ti and I haven't been able to find much in the way of real information. I would want to swap a OBD1 M50 into my OBD1 318ti. If I bought a parts car with a running engine, how difficult is this process? Is everything just plug and play? Or is there significant wiring that needs to be done? Would the parts car provide me with pretty much everything I need? Sorry if these questions have been answered before, but I just couldn't find any real hard information in these threads.
