I've got a nicely running 325i touring which I've cobbled together over past year or so. I feel like I could use more poke though. Been reading lots on here about the M52B28 swap and it looks appealing. Is the fun factor worth the hassle? Thanks

The M52 swap gives the car another lease of life in the performance dept, worth the effort for a fast daily driver.

Budget on £1500/ £2k+ to do the job properly (assuming you can do all the spanner work yourself)
