    88 325is M30 swap

    So I've decided to go for the M30 swap!

    I have a 1988 325is and I'm just looking for a bit more power from the old girl.

    I scored an M30B35 out of an 87 735il, which I got for $300 and a 9 hour round trip! Click image for larger version

    It's pretty rough to look at but the engine runs fine, automatic box only has reverse but I'm scrapping that anyway.

    So finally last night after a few nights spent swearing and carefully removing that unwanted skin on my knuckles, I got the engine out! Doing it without a leveller was a pain but it worked out fine with a bit of patience!

    Next step is to rebuild the engine! I'll try keep this updated as I go.
