Is it easy to put a 325 engine in a 320?
My car in general is a bit tatty and id really a nice condition one, but the 325i's are out of my price range where as the 320's are not.
So, would I be able to easily put my 2.5 engine in a 2.0 car?
320/325 swap?

If you have the later motronic M20B20 engine, its almost a straight swap.

I wouldnt have a clue what engine it is, but both would be facelift cars.

Has your engine got the ICV valve near the Throtle body ?

If they are both facelift they will have the same management system.Steviec wrote:I wouldnt have a clue what engine it is, but both would be facelift cars.
It's an easy swap, you just need the 325i engine and a 325i ecu or get a zone chip to fit to your 320i ecu. Easy

And a 325 diff and prop.
Better still, find an eta 2.7 bottom end and stick the 320 head on it.
