Would it work ?
I assume it will fit but what would it do to the engine, performance wise ?

Do you mean 320 as in the cam from a 320i or a cam with a 320 profile? Thats like race car stuff, wouldn't work on the road without major engine work.

No nothing that fancy :(

Just working out what junk i have left and i've got a 325 with no cam and a spare 320i cam left over.

I was wondering if it would give it more grunt lower down but would then probably loose the top end :?
