Hi all, I've just purchased a clean 316 and am looking to do the 2.5 engine conversion. i have had a look but i cant find a thread which tells me the parts i need. I'm looking to do this conversion as this is one of the most clean shells ive ever seen with no rust and only 65,000 miles. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am new to the BMW scene

Many thanks

Easiest way to do it would be to buy a rotten 325i. You'll have everything needed to just swap over, including the larger front struts and rear disc arms (unless your 316 is a touring, you will need these).
