another probably noobish question, but id like to know

[TroyWagner]

so, i have found a written off 2004 M3 with decent clicks in an auction, im wondering how possible/ plausable it would be to swap the engine in from this beast, is it worth the time to even attempt? or can it not be done, thanks in advance!!

[Jean H.318TI]

it can be done but u neeed tons of money/time/knowledge

[TroyWagner]

yeah, thats definately not a luxry i can afford haha, oh well, im going to keep looking for some e36 bimmers to rip the engine out of for my ti

[ChItalian1027]

Troy, what year is your car?

[TroyWagner]

1995

Then if its an M3 you want,,, a 1995 M3 engine for the simplest option,
or a up to 1999 E36 M3 engine (Little Harder and my second choice...)
Many have done OBD1 conversion on the 1996 to 1999 M3 Engines
for more power which also works with the 1995 chassis better than a
OBD2 from a simplicity standpoint.

do a LOT of searching on here, the E30 forums and look up
"project Orca" for lots of details that add up to the full story.
