I'm looking to carry out an engine upgrade for my BMW E30 325i. Engine runs well but I'm looking for more power and fresher looking.

What's all involved? What's needed to complete the full engine swap? What engine is the best to upgrade too?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

M52B28 is the current favourite. Have a read of this forum: http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... forum&f=56

Thanks brianmoooore for the response. I need to find out what all else I need to make the change as it won't just be engine, gearbox and ECU will it? Away to check that page out now you sent. Cheers
