    Looking to swap the engine of compact to the 328 engine....

    So ideally I would like to see the engine running, dont mind about the condition of the exterior/interior

    what about a 728i? runs fine just needs an MOT etc but will be perfect for a swap mate

    Thanks, will keep it in mind, would just prefer the full rolling car... as we have not done the conversion before, we are not 100% sure as to exactly what is required.

    electrical you need ecu , ews module , key ring and key chip

    you d ned to get yourself a flywheel , clutch , pressure palte and bearing , you can use your compact box if you want to , need a front prop too

    its been done no end of times , I ve done it few times myself , good engine here if you want man just saying

    Exactly, a lot of extra parts to collect, I would rather just get a donor car for the initial conversion, but will keep this in mind for if I need an engine, thanks

    I am, just Sam and I are struggling to arrange time for me to view the car, mostly due to my schedule. It will be my loss
