Where is the best place to...
...look for a M50B25 TU? I'm thinking I will do an engine swap since my M20B25 is getting a little worse for wear.

I'd mostly like to just get the engine, harness and whatever else is needed, not the whole car, preferably from an E34...

Is this going to happen before or after you put a front valence and bumper cover on your car? Actually, I kinda like that look... you should leave it like that.

Ya, it looks kinda aggressive. If I was to clean it all up and make everything in there black.

Here it is now.





I don't have a photo of the rear, but it's on and fitted well. Took me a week, with my perfectionist nutter brain to get the rear bumper and trim cut down and FORCED to fit. RRAARR!!

Ok, I'll take a non-vanos engine. If anyone in the Ottawa area has any M50 (preferably from an E34) I'll take it.

Are there any yards that people know of that I could check?
