take note i am budget minded, and i dont want to spend a lot of money.

What kind of budget are you working with first off?

ok ok ok i get it....
I SEARCHED PPL

but its really not clear...

i'm just clarifying..k?


i can use a getrag 260 out of a 325..and the drive shaft?

You obviously didn't search if you just asked that question.

How is it that I managed to learn how to do a swap, collect all the parts I need and do the actual swap in less than two weeks without posting a single question here? Maybe this is why I charge $75/hour...

[xwill112x]

spending no more than 1500$

ive already got a 325i vert, and a 325es to strip parts off of.


i am under the impression by using the search that a getrag 260 with a stock 325 drive shaft will work with the setup?

Well theres your answer then! You need to figure a minimum of $4k+ for such a swap!!!

You're fucked. You can't even get a motor for that.

Like not even an old, crappy m50.

this thread is a "want in one hand and shit in the other hand and see which one fills up first" syndrome...




:up: :up:

the swap can be done for 1k all said and done (including custom exhaust, ebay headers) with junk yard parts...

but OP, your 1500 budget doesnt include any sort of m3 engine

[xwill112x]

not counting motor.
i know that will cost atleast 2000$

but thats for all the other shit, parts, fabbing, etc..


i'm not that stupid..

[xwill112x]

so does the getrag 260 and e30 325 drive shaft work or not?

For a 220k mile piece of shit maybe...

For a 220k mile piece of shit maybe...

why dont you do some searching on ebay??

they have like 10-15 s52's for $2500<


and no there not 220k pos's


but i dont even intend on buying from ebay, i plan on buying a wrecked m3, and getting the motor out of it, then parting the rest of the car.

thats why i need to know what all works from a e30...bc e36 m3's aren't cheap...even totaled

make sence?
