one of the easiest conversions to do,its virtually plug and play!
when you say you have everything do you have the suspension off the 325i,and the diff?
small case diffs dont like b25 power much.

Ive basically got everything to make the engine run ie engine, box, ecu, loom, propshft etc. So everything else will be staying 318i till ive got the money to upgrade everything. Looks like an lsd is nxt on the list then.
