This will be my summer car so maybe I'll just route it like that.Function.

I'm still not sure what our problem is. Metric is 99% more efficient than Standard.
I use the metric system almost exclusively at work. However, when I make detail prints for machinists, they demand they be in standard. It's awful.
Also, I just left my throttle heater switch thinger hanging out on the frame rail.

330i transplants
Hi all
I have joined this forum because I am looking to install a 530i M54 engine (all alloy) into my 316i E30. I will be using the car for rallying again following a successful year on the BMW Rear Wheel Drive Challenge. 4th overall and 1st BMW on the Tempest last weekend.
I am looking for around 240bhp from an engine that weighs no more than my current M20B25.
I have bought a 2002 530i saloon with a manual gearbox for not a lot of money and will get it on the dyno before removing the engine and box for transplanting.
As anyone done a 330i transplant into the E30. I am obviously trying to pick a few brains on this one.
Many thanks
Toni
