Hi Guys, i have got a complete 318is including ecu, rad, propshaft, gearbox, engine loom, manifold and exhaust the lot. i bought the car imaculate with 145 000miles planning on racing in pbmwc. finging out i had the wrong engine i raced in ttrs and it did not miss a beat, perfect! 1st in class at cadwell, 2nd in class at oulton and second in class at brands. before i starting racing with it i half rebuilt the engine with new shells, gaskets etc and has had a full service after every meeting.
( the white bmw in front.
i am after a 320i engine preferably for a straight swap with all the same stuff so i can put it all back together. i was not sure were to ask so if any you guys could help it would be very much appreciated!

thanks guys

Welcome!
your best bet will be to put your engine up for sale and put a wanted ad up also.
there are rules and guidelines stickied at the top of the for-sale forums to help with this.

loving the video by the way :thumb:

I have a 325 engine box and loom i would be willing to swap with you, not too sure if these would be any good to you depending on what the classes allow?

Only allow the M40b18 or the M20b20. No 2.5's.

I Have a couple of m20b20 lumps available for swap

I'm based in scotland thogh, so transport may be an issue?

I can supply the full loom and all componants too

Drop me a PM if you're interested.
Thanks

Try Chris Warburton, he did this exchange for Jamese30 on here a couple of years ago for a PBMW engine....

Paisley Freight are usually cheap and good for large parts

Worth seeing what they'd charge for a pallet for the engine?
