if ya can afford the 6branch even second hand
imo it would be just as easy to fit a 325 engine then build on that


325tb and modded inlet helps a little but dnt expect any ferocious ppower from it
that mod tends to just smooth the engine a little

if u go down route let me know as i have these

tbh youd be far better sticking a 325 in there

I own a 320i, I have a chip and a pipercross filter.

As Daz says, save your cash, buy a bigger engine.

There's so much on engine conversions here, you can pick and choose. A 2.7 stroker, a 2.5 m20. a 2.5 VANOS, 3litres in various formats, m3 and strap a turbo to any of the above, it's all probably been done!!!

That's certainly the route I'd be entertaining if I had any money!!

(Fingers crossed that'll be the case at the end of the summer!)
