Hi all I have been offered a 318i auto which looks the part black on rust lowered alpina alloys. But the engine is duff.

So what i need to know is can I put a bigger engine in her and how much work is involved. I have done engine swaps before but not on bmw's.

I would also like to go manual depending on the amount of work involved

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers
