Hay, just tryed to look at the details for the m30 swop on the wiki and it wont let me,
it keeps saying

PERMISSION ERROR
You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:
The action you have requested is limited to users in the group user.

i can view all the others but not the m30 one,

Do i need to be seriously retarded to consider the swap or something?

The M30 Engine Swap page is still "work in progress" (I've not given the Wiki the time it needs recently). But what's in there is here:

http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... Swap_-_M30

If you were seeing a red link for the word "M30" and clicking that, then you'll get an error because red links mean the page doesn't exist yet.

Engine mounts. The decided weather you will find a prop that fits or cut and shut mix.

M20 325i GB output flange, M20 325i guibo, M20 325i prop and M20 325i gear linkage

Lee Parks has good engine mounts.

Yes, the M30 is just like a big M20, i even used the M20 rad for a few months with no drama's.
