    Buy or not?

    Have 318i, can buy everything I need for m42 swap for $1250 from a local shop,
    so my question to you good people is yes or no?

    Sounds spendy.

    List "everything" and details on the motor.

        Essentially replacing everything: running engine, all engine accessories, trans, driveshaft, diff.

          Unless the engine is in excellent shape with replaced timing gear, I'd pass.

            No. Do a 24v swap.

              For $1250 I'd buy another e30.

                Take that money and put it towards 24vs.

                Or rebuild your engine and turbo it.

                  So do you have an early 318 with M10? Even if labour is included that's still a bit steep unless everything is new and the engine has been completely rebuilt.
