I have a compete running 1991 318is e30

I simply need to know what is required to get the e36 m42 to plug and play with my e30 as I found a good complete e36 m42 engine locally.

Reviving an old thread,

Looking to buy a fresh motor rather than fix my e30 m42 that is burning oil and mixing coolant.

Any advise on e36 m42 into the existing E30 m42 other than:

Oil pan swap
Intake Manifold Swap
No use of the knock sensor

Did any Z3's get the m42 or are they all m44?
