JackDatBoi 5 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Hey guys and girls, I was wondering if anyone had much knowledge in the way of engine swaps for an '82 e21? The motor I have at the moment runs fine but I'm looking to change the engine so I can get some more power behind the wheels. I've done some research on what people have swapped in there e21's, but couldn't find too much on a 316. I was basically wondering what the easiest/cheapest engine would be to chuck in there? also will be looking to turbo it at a later date... Cheers guys.

I was looking at buying one and was going to put a stroked m20 with tripple carbs or motorbike carbs so one per cylender to keep that old school sound. but then I got a M3 instead haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
