BMW: bmw 325 i e30 1987, m20 engine, bmw 325

Question
will a e34 325 24v engine fit in my 325 e30, or can it be made to fit? thankyou, lauren x

Answer
Lauren,

 There are a few things we should clear up first.  An E34 is a 5-series.  The E36 is a 3-series made from 1992-1998 (I'm assuming that's what your talking about).

 The engine you are talking about is called the M50, and you want to replace the old M20 Engine in your car?  It has been done numerous times, and with pretty good results.  It's not a direct bolt-in though, modification has to be done.  If the engine is newer than 1996, you will have a few more issues added to the list.

 Good luck,
 Josh
