How hard is to swap between M50/52/54 engines?
OK, let's say that I have an opportunity to get ahold of an M52B30 or an M54B30 engine - what else would I need to get it up and running in my '91 525i? I'm sure about these two things: DME with harness and oil filter canister. What about the rest? Basically, all M5x engines should be similar enough not to cause too much headaches when swapping, right?
This might be interesting to many of you, since it will soon be easier/cheaper to buy a good used M54 than to make a complete overhaul of your old M50(TU).
