Knowing that this place is a fountain of knowledge, does anyone know of any potential problems of fitting the jag engine into my BMW.

What bits would i need from the donor to make it all work?

lots of cheap power compared to an M3 conversion

The electronics to run it are very complicated, I believe ZCars have used a XJR6 in a older Jaguar and I think he said there were 11 ecu's controlling the thing

On the plus side they are cheap and have got tons of torque and not to bad on the fuel even in the 2 tonne jag

Eleven ECU's????

I bet he's found the fuse-box and had a 'moment'!

the M3 engine will much more straight forward to do and is a cracking engine but what about the bmw v8 engines they can be had pretty cheap these days
