im about to get a 1989 528e with a blown moter for 100 bucks mint condition no scratches or dings nice intirior but i wanna know if the moter from my 1988 528e will bolt into the 1989 528e using the 89 trani?

eh....

I didn't think they made a 528e in 89....

'89 would be the 1st year for the e34.

ok srry my stepdad called me and told me bout the car he said it was a 89 528e maby it an 88 and i have no worries. i'll get him to get correct info befor anothr post here.

spellcheck is your friend.

ok i can get it for 300 bucks it is an 88 and mt car is an 88. si i guess my quesion is winn the moter from my 528e bolt onto the standard trani in the other 528e? its got an auto on it now.

It will as long as you put the flywheel from the manual car onto your engine

yeah they only made the 528e from 82-88. The motors are identical, the are both m20 motors from an 88. you can swap those engines and still use all the exsisting wireing and ECU its all the same. The Tranny will bolt right up like Projectp stated as long as you put the flywheel from the manual car onto u're engine. I would suggest going with a lighter flywheel tho becase the stock one on the m20 motor weighs around 23LB!! U can get a lighter on that is only 12. Just look for a used one and u'll get it cheep.
