FB RX7 with BMW M30
 
Thoughts on this, my friend recently crashed his 89 325is, and his motor is perfectly fine, its mostly structural damage. I asked him and he told me that i could have it if i wanted it, cause he just bought an e28 535is. thoughts and feedback would be most helpful.

The answer is no it won't fit and before it gets into a flame thread. Please repost in the other than rotary section of the forum. This is for "Rotary" Specific questions, only, thanks.

Come on doc, don't be so hard on him. :p:

I'll add my input but you should do as the doc said. The engine should fit. I haven't seen anyone put a BMW engine in a 7 yet, but I have seen one with a huge Chevy van I6 and those engines are long and tall. I'd imagine the BMW engine would be shorter in both directions. Another one I have seen is a 2JZGTE from a Supra, a high power I6 with considerable length.
