[andye30nut]

How easy do you guys think it would be to put a 740i into a 4 door e30 320i my mates got a rear ended 740i and ive got my old 320i lying? any coments much appreicated

err, that's a lot of work, it'll fit physically no problem, brake servo may have to be moved a bit but odds are the 740 will be an auto and to get a manual box to mate upto that V8 is damn expensive. There will be oodles of other little parts required also or stuff will have to be fabricated like engine mounts etc etc

Do a search on here for "E30 with E39 M5 power", there is a lengthy tread with pics of a V8 going in. Same process.
