Where'd you source the swap from? How much? Do you know of any websites that have more information on the swap?

I bought it from a BMW junkyard in Indiana from a swapped e36. 2500 for the entire swap, because I went and picked it up.

We followed this guys thread:

Old school hotness. Any reliability issues on these older BMWs? My buddy bought a 2008 335i at the start of summer and it's been in the shop 3 times already. Had to have both turbos replaced last time.

I don't think so.

EDIT: apparently, the M52 was available in europe with an aluminum block, though the S (m version) was not.
