Will this bolt to a 76 530i M30 engine. I keep forgetting what will match up to what without any issues. Thanks Karl

You either need to change the cam or use the adapter nut. And your existing upper timing cover, which may or may not be the right height. But you could probably get it to seal with enough permatex or similar in there.
