This is our run-down of all the common engine swaps you can do with your E30. At the moment we're only listing swaps that use BMW engines, but there's nothing to stop you from fitting any engine you like to your E30. Nothing except time, skill and money, of course.
We've paired up the Swaps to the Technical info for each engine; that way you can read up on all the tech specs of the engines to help you make your choice. The Standard Engine swaps are the easiest; parts are common, and the E30 was designed to have this engines fitted from the factory so, on the whole, they drop straight in. In contrast the Motorsport engines are the real hero swaps; some serious fabrication will be required, as well as a big fat wallet to cover the parts you need.
And remember, you'll need other upgrades to help you make use of all that power. Make plans for changes to your Brakes and Suspension to keep your improved chariot on the tarmac.
If you get stuck along the way, the Zone will always help.
