btccm3 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 plus 1 on the ti idea. swap of parts would be a whole lot more simple too. its a sickness with me and e30's i had a very mint 86 325 tech 1 many years ago and ill always have a soft spot for them. yeah my 530 is 5 speed and its soon to be a 535 as iv been given a free 635csi motor done half the ks of my motor.

btccm3 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 oh and Brent thats a nice repower you went with man. i thought the 4.4 came with a 6 speed if you were lucky enough to find a manual? what box did you use and how much drama was it to fit up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 Just get another E36 Coupe, replica M3. An E36 wagon is not worthy of this engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 +2 wagon it X3. E36 M3 Touring to OEM spec. Your family needs M3 power, teachers have reported students are 40% more attentive in class when driven to school with M power and wives have been known to say the day to day jobs that were once mundane become pleasant, even enjoyable with M power. Do it for the kids. Or sell it and go on holiday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
