Muzzin Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I purchased a basket case car and have a 320i engine, will the 2002 engine mounts bolt on to the block ? Chassis is a 1974. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech71 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Yes, they will bolt to an M10 engine out of an E21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 What about the oil pan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike87 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The oil pan on an E21 is different than the 2002 oil pan. The oil pump pickup is also different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzin Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Thanks for the help, I’ll have a look at the oil pan also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech71 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The oil pan won’t fit in a 2002, it’s too deep and hits on the subframe, have to change oil pan and oil pump pickup. Also worth noting is that while early E21 engines are 2 liter, later ones are 1:8l liter.Think the change took place with 1980 model.
