Hi everyone im not new to bmws but im new to this forum. So hello first :hihi Im wanting to fit the 2.8 M52 into my compact. There are some info on here but im still not absolutely sure what i need exactly.. Mines a N registered 318i compact with EWS 3T immobiliser system. Does anyone know if :
- I need The wiring loom for the m52 or can i use the existing loom off my 1.9 for the 2.8?
- I need an engine with matching EWS system 'cos mines a EWS 3T?
- I Will the coupe prop bit for this conversion?
- I can bolt the 328i sport LSD straight into the rear subframe?
- The ECU us plug and play?
Things i think i need for the conversion are Engine & Box, ECU, EWS, Prop, diff, drive shafts, Clocks. Have i missed anything?
As much info as i can get is much appreciated!
and anyone local to me?
