i live in hamilton and have and 88 318i E30 project im planning on taking my time with as its my second car .

im looking in time to drop a BMW V8 into it, whats the pros and cons of this. i want to make my car unique but keep it BMW .

what do i need for a full V8 manual conversion into a standard 318i auto?

and is there anybody keen to help me out with this, i know nothing about it so any help is good help.

P.S by taking my time i needa save money and sorce the right engine so its a couple year project for me just getting ideas.

cheers

Welcome mate

BIG project. Sammy J has successfully dropped an M60 and BMW manual box into an E30. Check his build here http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=22471

Expect it to be difficult and to part with a LOT of money

Good luck all the same!
