Heya - if youre in a e46 platform , you use all e46 accessories, ie: engine mounts, oil pan, pickup tube (from a e39 5 series iron block m52: this is for m52 swap, not 100% on pickup tube for m50 but in essence should be the same). youll use e46 alt, ps res, aircon unit, all pulleys and crank pulley if you wish, and a few other things im sure im missing but this is a good start!
Hi bud I just need some help with regards to which mounts to use . I’m in the process of transplanting my m52 engine into an E46 chassis . Which engine and trans mounts should I use . The e36 or e46 ones
hello! literally every component besides the engine and trans must be for the e46! only difference would be if you were running a bottom mount turbo and then youd run 1 customer mount for the engine on the passenger side. A few other things differ like coolant hose routing and plugging in different stuff to the engine for control (since youll be on single vanos i assume). Literally every component needs to be m54 components minus the drivetrain. i will drop a video here soon explaining everything needed to put a m52 in a e46 chassis
i havent been able to run the car yet, just waiting on a few more parts. I had the m54 fuel rail modified a bit before with the m54, but im moving over to a nuke returnless fuel rail my tuner sells thats a plug and play for the stock fuel system
Hello there. Loving the build!
I am in the process of doing a M50 swap on my e46.
Which oil pan and engine mount brackets did you use?
