I seriously doubt it will fit, or if it does, it's going to be a huge job. I know late E34s had V8s from the factory, but I'd bet the front end crossmember is different and you'd probably need to rewire half the car. I imagine that the ECU/OBC would require all kinds of input from ABS wheel speed sensors, stability control accelerometers etc, too. Very tricky.

Plus, I'd want to upgrade the cooling system, brakes, suspension and probably trans/differential at the same time.

I think that a place a lates M5 engin from the E34 in my car.
Becaus i think that it is the best way.
And we take maybey a Turbo on.
The breaks and the suspension are competition stuff.
