Well for those who drive a pre95 model e36 and e34 with vanos engine. The M52 conversion is the way to go. What you need to buy :- 1) M52 valve cover2) M52 engine cover (the one with BMW letterings, as the location to pour engine oil is different)3) M52 ignition coils (mounting locations are different)4) Valve cover gasket (different too) and a little modification will do! This is how it used to look like... <img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/albundyXX/bmw55005.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> You will need to grind the breather hose plug before you can plug it into the M52 engine cover. This is how it looks like after its grind and re-plugged into the M52 cover. <img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/albundyXX/bmw55003.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> You also need to cut two passage ways for the ignition cables to pass through the engine cover. <img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/albundyXX/bmw55008.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Everything else is straightforward, put back all the coils, tightened the bolts and voila...M52 engine lookalike! <img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/albundyXX/bmw55001.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Cheers!<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
