I'm having a hard time deciding what motor I want to throw in my car. Looking to build a budget track/auto x car for next summer to mess around with. Maybe you guys can help me decide :D

You have a $350 1984 318i. What Engine swap do you do? M50/52-M20-M30

For $350, I start by making a list of OEM stuff I need to replace to make it a decent driver, like wheel bearings, etc. Then I would research AutoX classes and rulesets, then put together the best suspension the rules allow. Brake refresh would be high on the list.
Engine swap would happen much later, and would depend on what class I wanted to compete in. It's not worth building a car that doesn't follow a ruleset.Drive it hard. Maintain it well.
