im wanting to upgrade from my 1.8 m40,

the shell is totally clean & solid, just needs something with more power.

anyone (pref north east) do engine swaps. maybe a 2.5

how much would someone want to do the swap? also including an engine if i cant source one cheaper.

only a 320i but you will be disappointed with the lack of ponies and the amount of fuel it will demand .

your best of getting a good 325i m20 b20 this is the cheapest way to six pot power
