I have an engine transplant in my E30....

Been looking at the V8 for this year, maybe, might just turbo it!

How about an E39 M5 engine?

Reply to This

this afternoon, i've just been offered a very nice E21... it's had all the bodywork done, but has been standing a while, and could do with a bit of tidying up. but then i got thinking about the prospect of removing the smokey M20 engine and trying to shoehorn a more modern engine into it. maybe a M52 or M54. now, a 250hp E21 could be a lot of fun... of course, the M60 V8 would be the one, but not sure how big an E21 engine bay is... but, i'm very tempted by the thought of a hot E21.

You are not the only one Nick. I have an S62 engine , wiring loom, ECU, gearbox and diff.
Hmmm!

V12 sir?

Now that must go! 550hp.
Strangely the V10's from the E60 M5 seem to be quite cheap. I saw one on e-bay not so long ago for £6500. E39 M5 engines can go for that.

Fan motor anyone? 7 Replies

I don't suppose anyone has an auxiliary fan motor for a 2000 E38 do they. Needs to be the last type with the three pin connector and no resistor packs.
