Talk to Byron, he did a m60 swap, maybe its the same? idk

I think he did the 524td^ m60 and m62 are basically the same. Theres info on R3vlimited.com. The hardest/trickyest part is the brake booster relocation.

No Byron did the M60.

Main issue as said is the booster. The e34 booster is popular, garagistic also makes a manual pedal bracket for a wilwood/titlton setup. They also make a mount kit.

I can't believe how many people think I have a diesel swap. I jokingly said ONCE that it was a diesel because of the noise from the rod knock.


If you're doing an m62 swap, be sure to get a non-Vanos engine. The m62tu's make the swap 10x harder with no gains.
