Ive got an F reg 320i and im looking to put a 325i set of throttle bodies onto it. Will this work or do i need to do more than this?

Other thing is ive stripped the threads out of the sump on an oil change is there anything i can do?

Need to open out the inlet manifold to match the throttle body diameter, which won't leave a lot of metal for the gasket.
Sump plug - three choices. Renew sump, helicoil existing boss, or tap an oversize thread into the boss and use a larger sump plug.
