Can a 520 turn into 530
Can anyone help me i have bought an imaculate 1990 520i SE alas the engine is well goosed with a lack of timing belt and a piston with a surface comparable to the moon it has serious issues. However i am about to receive a rather tatty 1989 530i SE but its engine is lovely! How feasible is a transplant of hearts?!?!?!?

1995 540i/6 - Misc Parts donor for above.
can the transmission from the gearbox from the 520 be fitted to the 530 block and will this give a lower ratio?Originally Posted by bimmerd00d
Thanks for your help
5-10 Grand Master
different block, if auto you should be able to swap the bellhousing on the tranny
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
alas tis a manual box on both cars may have to butcher the clean white one to bring the tatty red one up to par seems such a shame as the the 520 is so tidy a car apart from hearsed engine!loads of service history and great body work.besides i just prefer white cars anyhoo!
