> new drive shaft, wiring, inability to pass advanced emissions, mounts, fuel lines, exhaust. with an s62 swap your looking at wiring, you could use your factory exhaust or buy a used oem m5 exhaust.(i believe the header outlets match up. other than that its pretty much straight forward. i would get a new clutch,uuc has a kit that utilizes the 850csi clutch on a custom flywheel, a buddy and i recently did that to his M5. we ended up buying JUST the the flywheel (which was a royal PITA) and we used a spec 6puck with an aluminum pressure plate.

If I bought an m5 motor I would build it to the balls BEFORE I dropped it in seeing how it would be WAY cheaper in the long run. Yeah, I’ve heard its alot of wiring but besides that not hard.
