Ant knows his stuff on this, he said that the sump needs altering to fit into an E30, and it alters the weight balance a lot. Also the electronics are pretty complex.

He recommended the 320d engine - said it would give better weight balance, and could get 200bhp out of it, with bundles of torque and great fuel economy.

(Must admit I'm still keen on the 330d engine though)
