    Hi there, I’m also building a speed boat using a bmw engine (m57 from an e46 330d with a stand-alone ecu) I’ve done plenty of research and most people seem to think the alpha isn’t a strong enough gearbox, I am just wondering how yours is holding up? I’m planning to use the slightly older mc1 which in lead to believe is pretty much an alpha. Thanksb
  • Hi! I'm planning on putting the same engine in my Falcon 23, don't suppose you have a wiring diagram for the 325tds engine? Thanks!
