    His car was not beating e30 M3's. End of story. With a P&P, chip, exhuast, and m30afm his car is prolly putting out 175hp max.

    Yes you can swap your eta transmission in. You will need a 325i flywheel and clutch assembly though.

            As far as I know, I trannys can't go in to an E, it only works the other way around.

            If you don't know how to do a swap yourself, good luck spending a couple thousand.

              Shop labor to do the swap ONCE (you want it done both ways, twice) will be greater then the value of both cars combined.

                  Basically yes, but you could be forgeting a few things. There is a great thread here. Basically searching around here and elsewhere will get you answers quicker then waiting for someone to do all the looking for you.
