You will need a word with Toby_Unna or Andy335Touring as they have done the 3.5 conversion.

I would say if youre going to the trouble of the M30 conversion, you may as well go for the 3.5 and leave the 3.0 alone. The extra power and torque of the 3.5 will be much more worth it.

Oh and welcome to the zone

yer i was thinkin 3.5 myself after dont why i put 3.0
any idea wen theyll be on

[jmc330i]

Send them a PM would be your best bet.

Have a look on http://www.e30.de/
Theres a load of info on there (albeit in German) and there are some differences between LHD and RHD, but its a good place to start.

It will cost you big bucks unless you know a garage or some one cheap but trustworthy to do the swap for you.

Heres tobys and my 335 web page
