I will be buying it back from insurance and am thinking about transfering all I have done on the car to a 318ti while I look for a suitable S54 replacement. Just how much can I transfer? | | | 04-25-2013, 12:40 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | This motor will work. There are a few items that will need changed/added. There is a swap manual for sale here on the org. The man who wrote it is J!M. Search his name as I have spelled it here and you'll find him and his manual. He put the same motor in his car. So, all of the info will be in it. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 04-25-2013, 12:45 AM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2013 Location: Enumclaw, WA Posts: 22 | I just sent him an email to get a copy. Do you know if it makes a difference if I pick up an automatic or manual car to transfer the guts of my MCoupe into? | | | 04-25-2013, 01:44 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Swap out the rear subframe also and sell the ti subframe to an E30 guy looking to do a 5 bolt conversion. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 04-25-2013, 01:51 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | It doesn't matter if it's a manual or auto. There are differences tho. As you can imagine...a bit more work comes with the auto. But, it should be covered in J!M's manual. Post pics of the M Coupe. I'd sure like to see it. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | 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 | | | |
