I really appreciate this vid because I’m doing a m52b25 and most the stuff I knew already about the swap but there were like one or two things that caught my eye like the e30 fuse adapter to the m50/52 wiring harness which will come in handy. I appreciate all of your vids on the swap thank you for these vids !!!!!!

Thanks for the vids. I'm currently doing an m50nv from e34 into my originally m20/g260 e34. Being that the swap is so incredibly similar in the e30 and e34 this helped confirm I have everything needed. And I also greatly agree about why using the 260 is a good choice... I don't want to mess around with finding a new driveshaft if I put say a zf310 in it. This way will be cheaper.
