Now that's impressive! What's the power of 330d lump? About 210bhp?

Money no object, that is the conversion i would do, although im sure they are only 200hp or so, well surprised to see it holding that M3, the power of torque i suppose.

Would this transplant be very in depth? I can imagine elctrickery issues to run with the turbo and all that jazz? Am i wrong, would it be simple in comparison to say a 535i lump?

Very sensible conversion. My dad's just bought a 330d touring, huge torque in any gear and smooth too. Wonder if he's got a donor card? winkeye

I think you'd need more expertise than a fleet of M30 techies put together! (No offence guys it's a great conversion)
Think of the rewiring! That said, I'd have this conversion at the drop of a hat. All that torque!!

Would only need a re-map to hand a standard M3 it's bum. That said, it ain't about that, they are two totally different driving experiances.

Definitely a sensible/mad conversion!
