im wanting to upgrade from my 1.8 m40,
the shell is totally clean & solid, just needs something with more power.
anyone (pref north east) do engine swaps. maybe a 2.5
how much would someone want to do the swap? also including an engine if i cant source one cheaper.
who does engine swaps?

only a 320i but you will be disappointed with the lack of ponies and the amount of fuel it will demand .
