Hey Josh, great video. Thanks for making it. I will be doing the same - with a new Z3 M roadster steering rack.

I really appreciate this vid because I’m doing a m52b25 and most the stuff I knew already about the swap but there were like one or two things that caught my eye like the e30 fuse adapter to the m50/52 wiring harness which will come in handy. I appreciate all of your vids on the swap thank you for these vids !!!!!!

Hahah mission accomplished

Thanks for the vids. I'm currently doing an m50nv from e34 into my originally m20/g260 e34. Being that the swap is so incredibly similar in the e30 and e34 this helped confirm I have everything needed. And I also greatly agree about why using the 260 is a good choice... I don't want to mess around with finding a new driveshaft if I put say a zf310 in it. This way will be cheaper.

A bit short for connecting to ecu in the glove, ecu has to just lay in the glovebox. And the covers are a bit big but otherwise it works. E36 would be better
