BMW 535i se
Just bought a shed of the week, had it a month, due to my new found drifting skills the beasts gearbox gave out. Has any one got any ideas what i can do with it. i want to drop the engine into a 3 series but my bmw mate said it wont fit.its a loverly car and goes sideways quite nicely, engine is sound,would it be a joke to try and make it a drag shed. seen some others on here and they are quite nice when pimped.
IDEAS WELCOME (also how do i find out if its an E34 engine)
my own DUTCHESS!

What 3 series is it?

With a bit of work the M30 3.5 WILL fit into an e30 3 series engine bay. Go see the South African market 333i. Also Alpina produced an M3 variant with that same egine tuned to produce 260 bhp.

Thanks for replies and ideas, gonna strip gearbox out, the selectors bent so damage not that bad, plus i smashed a wheel off but you get a new alloy in boot bonus.
gonnna strip it all out and use as a drift car, if you want any bits yell its full leather interior with M bits inside.
What 3 series is it?
its a 5 series!
