Hi,

I've been offered an e46 328i with an m54b28 engine.
Is this a suitable donor car for an e30 swap?
What are the issues?
Thanks all :)
Moredoor autos with small engines are cool - but my new m20b25 is awesome!

Pretty sure they are double vanos and don't think the wiring issues have been worked out yet.

Think they are also fly by wire instead of throttle cable.
