I would love to do somthing like this in the future!! :D Would there not be big problems getting traction if swapped to a 325i sport? How many zoners have done this?? any pictures?

Well crossie an e36 m3 engine with 30,000 miles and service history has loads of potential, would love a rip in a "335i" sport :mad:

if you have the stuff there is enough information in this section (just dig for it) and if you got any problems people on here would love to answer them!

if you are considering doing the conversion then get the job done! it would be an absolute monster when you finished!
