I just got a compete '88 325iS as a parts car w/ 137K & 5 speed trans. I have been contemplating engine swapping/ stroker motor ideas for a while~
My '85 325e (slushbox) has 162K on it, runs, drives perfect. The head was rebuilt about 10K miles ago. I, one day would like to swap a 5 speed trans in it along w/ a stroker motor-
Question is.... Should I swap in the complete 325i motor (It would be rebuilt), wiring harness, DME, trans, etc (essentially the whole enchilada...) or build a stroker motor w/ the "e" & "i" parts {what exactly would be involved with that- different pistions, etc???}
Don't get me wrong, the 325e is fun to drive as my daily driver, but from getting out of the M3 into the ETA.......
Please guys, give me your honest opionions :woowoo:
Thanks~
