Subject: Need new engine. Trying to decide if I should upgrade, oppinions welcomed... Author: davidf (moderator) : member since March, 2004 : 1482 posts Posted on: 2009-07-13 09:42:48

I need a new engine for a 99 323i. I can certainly replace with like kind (M52TUB25) or I can upgrade to a 2.8L (M52TUB28). If I go with the 2.8L upgrade what other than the engine computer will be required, if anything? I am assuming a bolt in upgrade. What am I not thinking about?

        • Yes, I know it would run, but won't the fuel delivery be slightly off (lean)? - davidf 2009-07-24 11:02:51 (724 views)
