Either M20 2.5 or M20 2.0. The touring I converted to M30 with an M10 gearbox was originally a 320i but was later converted to 325i spec before I bought it. The prop and gear linkage were a perfect fit with the engine in position 3 (furthest back) but I couldn't tell you if it was the 2.0 or the 2.5 propshaft or linkage. I'm thinking it may have been the 2.0 parts as I believe the prop is longer on a 320i, I believe someone else who has used the 2.5 parts found the prop and linkage weren't quite long enough. Either way I can't guarantee which to use.

I used 320i parts.
With great challenges comes great engineering.
