M-roadster engine eh?
.... you certainly have you work cut out for you... if your not aware, there is quite a few small differences between that and with the typical S52 M3 motor.
I suggest getting Jim's manual ASAP, he did the M-roadster motor swap and went into nice detail on the differences between that and the E36 version found in M3's. I won't get into the extra tidbits that you will need since I learned it from Jims manual and it is copyrighted work... but if you don't know the differences, id make it top priority getting a copy. __________________ 11/97 Base  328Ti

Got Jim's manual about 2-3 months ago, before I planned on starting this project. I only bought this engine now because it only has 17k on it. Not sure when I am going to start because there are other things to get straight before I start and I work in the evenings and then there is back up transportation and classes to consider, so don't hold your breath on me really getting started anytime soon, but I will definitely take pictures of the procedure. | | | | | 06-29-2008, 03:08 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 |
 don't mind me... good luck with the swap! __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti

Well from what I have seen no one responding to this thread is in VA. I am trying to find a GOOD body shop that can get out the dings and give my ti a paint job so black that any who look upon it feels like their eyesight is being drawn into a collapsar (black hole) and just cannot look away... I guess I will ask the dealership(s) around here who does their work. | | | | | 06-30-2008, 02:54 PM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
