as above,what would you recommend?are all the bmw 2.5 litre engines nearly the same and 1 important thing.got an engine coming out of an automatic 2.5 and mine is manual does this have an effect coz my gearbox is ok i js want an engine.i thought the transmission wouldnt matter as long as you want the engine.please anyone prove me wrong on this coz 1 of my mate said an engine from auto wont go on a manual gearbox shell?????

an engine from an auto should fit a manual no prob...the only real dif wit an auto should be gearbox prop shaft diff no clutch pedal an some extra wires...there shouldn be anythin dif bout the engine itself

there are 2 major diffrences with the 2.5 24valve engines they are both m50b25's but from 92-late 93 were none vanos and from late 93on had vanos if you are fitting a vanos engine to a none vanos car you will have to change the loom and ecu also the other way fitting a none vanos engine to vanos car lomm and ecu also

also on the auto to man u will need to put a spigot shaft bearing in to the end of the crank shaft it will not be fitted to the auto engine

the 1 i have is a 95 meaning its prob a vanos,i am getting engine from a 94 which is most likely a vanos too.now for the spigot bit,hw much of a job is it?

The spiggot bearing is easily pressed into the end of the crank..

I'll sell ya my manual 525 engine, box, loom ect to save ya he hassle if ya want?!

Its non vanos!
