if you do a search ,in this forum ....for more info.yes its one of the easiest swaps that most do with an e30...but if yours is a saloon/coupe youll need to uprate brakes/suspension...etc

engine/diff/prop/gbox/ecu etc....


have you got a donor vehicle /parts?

yes possible, cheapest way is to buy a 325i with accident damage to the boot or a rusty mot failure! cheaper than buying an engine!
