Wicked.

Have you enquired about insuring and registering with dvla?

Yea they said no issues or problems

[Abm1977]

So dvla accept the changes then you simply register it as a e30 330?

The car will always be a 318iS, that's the model and can't be changed. All the dvla will change is the fuel type and engine cc so it will now be a 318iS with a 3.0 Diesel engine.

[jasso]

Thank you jmc330i

[jmc330i]

I forgot to say, good work so far Keep the pics coming and a vid or two

[Abm1977]

Thank you jmc330i

Will insurance have any issues too?

I take it that you won't be able to insure under classic car??

[Neilios]

Modified insurance, might get a classic policy depends on how they look at it.
