    Hi can u help, Im owner of 1997 e36 but its swapped with m52b25 from 1998 e39 523i, when i first got it the car started normally but it wouldnt past 3500rpm, after I chnaged oil and ignition sparks it went wild he was starting really fast and it had full power, I also disconnected and reconected the maf sensor. Now when im done with bodywork i had an inncident where i forgot to close the front haube and it was raining and engine was on rain but after rain it started normally and had full power, my friend and I went to test the car bcs we replaced the suspension and when i wanted to crank the car it cranked like it wanted to die but it had power and when we drove it was wild like an animal but all of a suden when engine got to work temperature it didnt wanted to pass 3500 rpm and from then i can barely crank up the car and it also doesnt want to pass 3500 rmp The things missing is the full exhaust, so the manifolds are first and last what i got for exhaust, i dont have air filted but kn sport filter

    • @HardlyExotic

    Hi, great video, may I ask? “why an e34 engine mount and not a e36 rubber or poly mount?”

    • @HardlyExotic
      @HardlyExotic 29 дней назад

      E34 mounts are cheap and solid rubber. The E36 ones are oil filled and eventually fail, plus they're twice the price. Both are fine but the e34 makes a little more sense due to the price point. I wouldn't use poly engine mounts on a. Road car. Our UK roads are too crappy and the extra engine vibrations will eventually annoy you if its a daily driver.
