BMW scrap spares

Mike 30 Oct 2014, 2:51pm
Hi


Does anyone have any BMW M20/M50/M52 scrap engine/gearbox spares that I could borrow for a short period?

I would like to test run my M54 outside my Cabrio before committing to the swap, but to do so, need:

Flywheel
Gearbox - any type - just to give fixing to starter motor.
Starter motor

- from any of the above.

Once tested I can swap my M50 out, and use its flywheel/clutch/gearbox, so can return the spares.

I can probably collect, and return at a later date if anyone can lend these I'd be grateful.

If you can help, please contact me through MAKC, or on 07968 835101.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi Mike, I think I have a flywheel for you. Marlin sent it to me with the M52B28TU (which is till sitting in my store) so I may also have a starter motor! No idea where the flywheel came from as the engine was an automatic and I got a mix of odds and sods from them but it should be compatible with the M52! Drop me a message if you are still needing these bits and I will give you a call!
