Depends on what is in at the moment, although the short answer as anything!

If you have a 520i with an M20 engine, things get difficult as it is a different layout you will need to change exhaust manifolds and other things.

If you currently have an M30 engine in there then any other M30 will drop straight in. I have made comments on this recently.

What engine do you currently have? If you are interested, have a look at: http://mdistel.cwru.edu/ where they put an M50 engine in a E30 (3 series). Should give you some ideas.
