In Reply to: e34 M5 3.8 eng. into e28? posted by John on May 02, 2002 at 02:17:20:

I personally haven't done it , but I seem to recall that it's not that hard. Most of the wiring matches up, you will need the correct DME- it bolts right up and plugs in, exhast will need to be matched or better yet opened up, e34 headers are different as well. As far as fitment- it's an S38 block. That's all I know.

Good luck!

Ethan


Has anyone done this? I am interested in any info. about this swap, problems, retrofits or interfacing wiring/DME.
Any imput would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
