Use the 4.0 DME.
Will the 5 speed and diff in your 3.0 stand up you the torque of the 4.0?

Hi all.
I am buying a 95 4.0 V8 out of a 540ia to put in my 95 530i 5spd. Has
anybody
done this? Can I use the wiring harness & DME from my car with a Conforti
chip
for remaping? Should I get the wiring harness off the 540ia anyway? Anybody
know how I can contact Jim Conforti? Who makes the best aftermarket exhaust
for this application? Any and all suggestions are welcome. TIA
Geoff Nilson
