Hi everyone, I just joined the forum.
I am a BMW guy typically, but my father still owns a 2001 Allroad with the 2.5TDI V6 engine code AKE that recently blew up. I have been looking for a replacement, and a breaker was going to source it. He now tells me that the donor car has the newer, post 2003, engine code, presumably BAU or BDH, not sure.
If I'm doing a full engine swap (not just the block), will the newer engine mount fine and would the electronics work...? I am still very inclined to continue looking for an AKE...
Thank you very much!
