    M20 into a 318i

    Sup r3v,

    I want to know what i need to swap an m20b25 into my 318i.

    I know i need a getrag 260 and i have the DME for it.

    So, what else is there?

    Do i need a new driveshaft? Do i need to fab anything?

    Also, while the engine is out anything i should replace?
    The m20 had the timeing belt and water pump replaced about 1000 miles ago so thats already done. Also going to buy a new clutch while putting on the new trans.

    Thanks for readin

      Will anything from my m42 work with the m20?
