So I just got my hands on this 1990 750il. It had been sitting for about 5 years with a siezed engine and bad tranny.
So I acquired another engine at a junk yard with the transmission as well and swapped it in myself. Harness was swapped as well.
Since it had been sitting I dumped all the old fuel and changed the filters. Put new fuel in there as well.
So I went through the whole swap and go to start it up and it doesn't start!! I've been trying to find the problem and I'm going crazy.
It cranks and everything but when you keep cranking it, it somtimes back fires. I don't know what the problem is but if anyone could help I would appreciate it.
