I'm planning on fitting a 318is engine into my 316i and am wondering if theres anything i need to change...apart from the brakes!
Can i use my 316i fuel pump with the 1.8is engine? and if i get the exhaust manifold will it fit my 316's prop shaft? anything else i should know?
Gotta pay a deposit on the engine tomorow so if any1 could answer my questions a.s.a.p it would be greatly appreciated.

you need the engine, box, AFM, ECU and loom, the prop wont be an issue dude

you'll also need to get the M42 coil pack bracket welded onto the OSF inner wing

Make sure its an E30 m42 engine, the E36 unit will not fiit as the sump is back to front as is the oil pickup pipe for the pump.


fuel pump is smaey-smae, no worries there.
