Swap or what?

[Drewe30e]

My tranny is about shot in my 325e and I don't want to just buy another e transmission. I was either considering upgrading to an i engine and transmission or even an m50 or s50. I know the price increased a good bit with those options, but would it be worth my time or should I just hunt around for a good e tranny. Keep in mind that I'm a poor college student with grad school coming up in a year.

This is the most important sentence in your post. Go find another used tranny.

That's what I think I'm going to end up doing. Do you know of where I can get one that is in decent condition.

If you could find a good deal on a i motor with wiring, tranny, and computer

That would make for a ncie weekend project :)

I would love to upgrade to an i motor, but how much does it cost? I can't really afford to spend over $1000. And that's even a bit pricey. I'll probably just get the e tranny.

you going to do the work yourself? it might be a little over 1k for engine, trans, and tune up/maintinece pieces....

but you should focus on school.... don't be a completly broke college student

Yeah, being broke is starting to get old. I can't wait to get out and get a job. Only four mor years....
