What differences between the Two?
Both are obviusley the same engine but what will be nessarsary to drop the Compact engine into a Z3?
Compact is a 98 S reg and the Z3 is on a T plate.
M44 1.9 from Compact-Z3?

Think im right in saying the Z3 is built on the E36 platform so im assuming the sump will be the sae,is the inlet likely to be aswell though?

Yes just the rack. Track rods and ends are the same.
