Alright all

Out of interest how easy would it be to put a 2.5 into a 316?

I Own a 325i 4 door but would like a 3 door, i realise this is cutting corners but i thought it may be worth it.

Thankyou

I read it as he wants to remove one door from his 4 door to create a 3 door :mad:

To swap everything over from your 325i to the 316 is quite easy, you will need to change the suspension and complete driveline too, renewing lots of parts on the way :D
