    bmw 318is swap help

    hey guys i want to make a swap on my 1991 318is what do u guys suggest or dont suggest, wich is easier? wich is not, wich is worth it, wich is not...
    of course i have to change brakes and hubs... so i rather buy a car to do the swap to switch parts... and what drivetrain i should use?(trans/diff/propshaft)
    so my choices are:

    -an e36 325 (m52) very easy to find
    -an e36 328 (wich a hard to find) 1996 to 1999 with double vanos (m52)
    -an m62 4.4l v8....
    -an e34 or e32 or e38 4.oL engine
    -or stick to my 250,000km m42 4 cylinder engine and modify is....

    If you guys can help me out i would really apreciate it, my 1st choice was the 328 m52 but it is really hard to find with a cheap price.... and i think 328 or 325would be the easiest swap,

        To the OP. I'd do none of the above. S50 is affordable and supposedly not too difficult.
