I've got a 318i and will have a 320i engine soon which I want to put in, is there anyone who is willing to come down and drop the 320 lump in and maybe take the 318i engine out for £?

I am quite handy with the spanners but would like someone else with better knowledge to do the harder stuff and I will help because I need the car and cannot afford to make any mistakes

thanks

I'm located in Birmingham, 5 mins away from J4 M42 Birmingham Airport

If only you were in zummerset lol, just done this same swap with mine, and there are a couple of things that caught me out.... hopefully someone closer to you will offer up their services :)
Wanted: Any old component speakers, complete or separate parts, let me know what you got :D

does anybody have a rough price that I might be charged?

I can fit the exhaust, radiator, intake, I just want someone to connect the actual engine/gearbox

Mate.. If I was in Cov still, I'd come and give you a hand for the price of my fuel and a couple of pints. That's the point of being a Zoner!
