Non-SVX, BMW 325is/M3 ideas...

After geting my '88 325is all fized up I started thinking of pulling the engine and transmission, suspension, front seats, anything else I can get, from my '97 M3 parts car and swaping it all in, make a sleeper out of it, 2200# after weight reduction surgery and 250hp stock, I know of a $3000 kit that will make it 320hp but all the suspension is brand new under that car, the '88, I mean EVERYTHING, urethaine wherever I could, bilstiens, so maby I should just put a cam into it and rebuild the transmission.... Anyone want to poke me in one direction or the other ???

i think you'll probably be better off asking this at like, revlimited or whatever...

but i think you swap m3 engine trans seats over, keep the suspension and such from the stock e30 chassis, and as you have more money to spend, upgrade parts further. i'd say swap everything over before you try and build up the motor too much...

over here they are installing the 1984 745i BMW engine in those 1988 325i series. You don't wanna know the results...
This 745i has a turbo in it...
