hey guys i been wondering what if or if its even possible to swap in a e36 m42 and then get DASC or something from there....i've been thinking about it and it seems better cause the e36 m42 already has knock sensors (which will help us out so much for FI) and DISA. im realy thinking about this swap casue alot of parts can be carried over and you wont need hunt for alot of parts and again some bolt on parts will help us in the peformance department...lookin around on realoem looks like u will only need some intake items and e36 DME as well as engine wiring harness i think.....so what do u guys think??? waste of money or good idea???

i think it is a great idea, cause i just purchased a 1995 motor(early 95 with no ews). Just need the oil pan and the pulleys(basicly i just take everything from the 91 and bolt it on to the 95)
