you guys know if converting a 320 to a 325 engine is any trouble? anything more than swapping engine and ecu? is the engine a straight swap? same mounting points, gearbox etc..?

Hello mate have just done this conversion on my 320i cab

You will need
325 engine and gearbox
New clutch
Ecu
Rad off 325
and alot of patience
New Engine mounts as you will F**k them up putting the new engine in
325 exhaust downpipe full exhaust (as they are different)
bigbore throttle body just for good measure can't remember who does them on the zone
thats about it
