Sounds like a typical M47N 6 speed type flywheel. I've never heard of an old type Getrag GS6-37 failing although anything can happen.

E36/34 engines are a straight swap once the sump, oil pick up tube, exhaust manifolds, wiring loom and mounting arms have been changed.

728i's have a front sump bulge, E36/46/39 etc have a rear bulge. To convert to a front bulge sump you need the sump, dipstick and the short pick up tube that bolts to the oil pump.

An engine from a written off 1999 Z3 2.8 that had 40k from new on the clock. I sold it 18 months ago and it's not been used so is for sale. No exhaust manifolds or throttle body. Might have the loom, can't remember. No starter or alternator. Obviously in excellent order. Collect from Clay Cross near Chesterfield - sorry, not getting involved with couriers or pallets, just come and get it. No pics but you know what an engine looks like! It's an M52TU twin vanos unit. £375.

It doesn't have a boot changer.

That's a no then I take it.

It won't fit yours as you probably have the Becker with flat pins in the connector. This is a Philips with round pins.

Alternator sold.

Plastic jacking pad?

A faulty glow plug relay will also prevent a regen.

Er, righto....

Could be a flaky injector overfuelling. I had this drama with a Saab and have yet to resolve it.

Yup, this is what's happening - it needs an oil change ASAFP and a good 3000 rpm run to regenerate the DPF.

Bosch only. So much stuff including Bremi MAFs are just garbage.
