    YO!

    bit of a noobie on this kinda thing..

    how much would a engine swap from a 328 cost?? i know you will all say sell my 318 and buy a 328, but for some reason i just love my 318i lol..

    also what would i need to change to my car for this to be done?? and what cost am i looking at?

    thanks for all your help

    I have done this conversion on my E36 318i and I can tell you it's not worth it unless you get given half the parts. Sell the car and buy a 325/328, you will save yourself a ton of money.

    You must have done it wrong.
    You can buy a full engine conversion or even a car for £400 and it's plug and play.

    Why change the arb? I didn't need to on mine and it fits fine.

    Don't think brakes are different either unless you have gone for m3, which is pointless on a stock 2.8
