is it much work to convert a 316 to a 325, i understand it wont have the brakes, so would probably need the rear subframe etc, but is the engine straight forward to convert...

Many have done it - probably easiest if you have a rotten 325i donor car that you can park side by side with your 316 and just swap everything over.
The bodyshells are the same but it is a lot of work to do a full conversion.

You'll need front struts as well to cope with the heavier engine.

Apart from the brackets for the M20 coolant tank ( and a couple of other brackets that aren't relevant).capri_rob wrote:

As said, a full donor car will make your life so much easier
