Can I stick an injection manifold on my 1800 m10 lump if I take the carb off? Would that work? or better to buy 2nd hand 318i lump?

Anyone done it?

iirc ull need to change the fueling, injectors, pump, basically,, a pita if its anything like changing carbs to injection on a golf,, which i think is the same principle...

weber carb,,, and off you go! though tbh,,, costs alot, to run and tune.
