Hi Gent

Please can you tell me which BMW was fitted with the same engine as my 2001 Bordeaux Diesel ? It would just double the chances of finding spares when searching

Thanks

325, 525, and Opel Omega. Not all parts are interchangeable.

Thanks for that, I'm assuming the injectors will be the same ? I have a 525 in a breakers near me that has a recon engine from BMW in it so thought the injectors would be a good but as the guy at the yards says he will take them out and bag them up individually for 50 pounds !

Yes same but number 4 has a lift sensor so for that one has to be a egr match
Ie. if yours has egr the doner car must! same as if yours dosent have it the doner shouldent

Cheers for that, I will get that checked

My car had an EGR but I have since fitted the bypass kit however obviously this does not alter the fact as pointed out by you

You may find the connector on number 4 is different but not hard to deal with.

Didn't someone fit a complete engine from a 525 not so long ago? All they changed was the top sections of the FIP as I remember

Yep many have done it either from a Beemer or the Omega. FIP electronics are different and some other bits.
