Anyone done an OBD2 into OBD2 Swap?

[M318]

So basically I was wondering if someone else has a S52 in their 96 and up vehicle and kept it OBD2 and how they did it. All of the builds I have read about were talking about doing the OBD1 conversion. It is pretty frustrating. I could buy an M3 but my car is the cleanest I have ever seen in my body style, without a speck of rust anywhere on the vehicle ( I check it constantly and clean under gaskets and ext.)

M42 is obd1 and m44 is the lamer obd2 counterpart;) Swap should be straight forward.

How is the M44 lamer? It has a sweet .1 liter increase in displacement and you loose the lame clutch fan?

Get the ews system re aligned or remove it.

It made less torque and my m42 has/came with an electric fan.
