Should fit straight in.

Is it manual? Now would be a good time to fit a new clutch.

Keep the exhaust manifold that came with the engine as they be different. I would also take the opportunity to replace the exhaust manifold studs whilst the engines out of the car. They're a bugger otherwise.

Hi Gogs, pretty sure you'll need to use your 320 sump and oil pump on the new 5 series engine as the 'bump' will be at the wrong end to clear the crossmember.

Cheers,

Sandy
