Ok, I know this is off topic, but this forum has been a great source of information for my 2005 E-60.

I also build resto rods and I want to put a 2.8 or 3.0 BMW engine & automatic in a 1969 Rambler American. I have most of the details of dimensions and installation worked out. The big issue is getting the latest engine/trans without having overly complicated electronics. I don't want drive by wire, but I want double Vanos. I would like the M54B30 engine, but I am concerned about how much electronics to disable. The M52B28 engine with the Siemens MS42 ECU seems like as far as I can go. The people at Singh Autosport think they can disable the alarm disabler circuit and deal with the missing wheel speed sensors. I know I will need both the ECU and TCM units. If anybody out there (Rudy??) can add any information for this weird project, please P.M. me and I will get in contact with you.

Thanks,

Wayne Ellison
