My fren transplanted a 2.5 into a 1.8 before.. There's an additional step involved.. Go search for info.. I think he mentioned something about Engineering division.. It's done according to the procedure, just additional existing steps to follow.
but then again, before you can transfer ownership. The car needs to be roadworthy and to go for PUSPAKOM inspection. U better go check for procedure, especially for your case where the car has been off the road for so long.. Don't be surprised, it's no longer in the system...
Or some unscrupulous bugger took over the record...Guys, I found M50B25 at the chop shop nearby Batu 10, Jln Cheras. They want to sell me about 2K for the engine only. Excluding the gearbox. Is it worth it?
And what do I need to do about the engine before I swap into my E34? Do I need to do the top overhaul?
Thanx guys for the advice.
p/s : How i want to paste a picture here? Anybody care to teach me?

I did some time ago buy an e28 that was not driven for 3 years, did an oil change, plugs and it started fine. The oil left in the engine shud pretty much prevent any corrosion in the engine and the materials used by BMW should be of good enough grade not to just corrode by itself when it is coated with a film of oil.
It doesn't cost so much to try to start it up to see if it works then decide if you want to upgrade. The mileage must be very low if what the current owner says is true, so you would have a very new engine. Anything from the yard will have lots of mileage on it by now.

I suggest you pass on this car. Are you looking to genuinely rebuild an E34 or looking for a good car to drive? If you're looking to rebuild a car, then go ahead. If I was in your position, I wouldn't go for a car like that...it was a furniture for over a decade. Virtually any moving parts might have frozen or might need replacement shortly after running.
If you'd wait around 4 or 5 months, I'm looking to sell my car. It's an E34 in fine condition, maybe we could meet up for a drink and you could take a look at my car. However, if your heart is set for this car, go for it. Never go against what your heart tells you, I followed mine to purchase this car despite many telling me it's a risk but it was so worth it.
