Gus 5 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 no idea on how many Km's, but crank has been straightened (no more details on invoice as it was outwork) which cost $1200. so its good. as for cost...well im not even sure if i want to sell..so would have to be persuasive enough to make me want to sell..... just to be a pain in the ass.

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 M325i: do it, your car would be even more badass with a 2.7 itsa lovely pipe dream. I dont have time/skills to do any work myself though, so the only way id be convinced is if i handed over a stack (small one) of notes, and just pick up my faster car a week later.

bravo 35 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 You'd probably be looking at the following: Gus's bottom end $900 Other parts (HG, bolts, sundries) do you have a diesel crank Gus?) sump from 320 fit? could easily blow out to $500 or $700 Installation - say $500-800 if no problems 2.7 chip ??? Total guess say $300-500 Thus total could come to almost $3k worst case scenario. Do it you self and you could knock $1k off the top. Oh plus don't forget $400 for certification and the fact yuou will have quite a hike in your insurance. and gains?? dunno, but as a wise man once said to be honest i dont think its worth it. would much rather using the money for a rebuild (lots) to add a turbo as opposed to 200 more cc. But that's me playing the devil's advocate - If you have a 320 the only way to get a big enough gain to be comparable would be to buy and work a 325 ($3k less what you get for your m20b20) or m50b25 ($5-7k or more -since you won't be installing that yourself either I guess - less what you get for your m20b20) or turbo ($3-5k???). So comparably its not the most expensive option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 you could get away with the cert providing that everything still remains factory. just dont tell anyone its a 2.7 block. it only has the 320 head on it so it can only be a threetweenty. m2o 6cly bmw block's bolt straight in providing its a m2o reg esire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 i missed the whole convo only needs a sump (from the donor 320, all m20s the same) tis not the diesel crank...they very rare in NZ. Headgasket=250ish bolts=50 ish and....? thats for a 320..the 325i build is harder but in theory better then just swap wiring looms and whack it straight back in, i could help someone do it if they were super keen and the price...why do you people not make any offers! $650 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 So to convert my 320i to "327i," would cost me around 800 dollars? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 if you do it all yourself, yeah should do keep in mind gaskets, and if you want to use the 325 intake manifold (its bigger) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
