Thinking of joining the BMW Crowed
I have been seriously thinking of Picking up a 92 3-series, I love the body style of the 92 but Like the option of the 88-91 325IX (awd)
Now I Know they never made a 325IX in 92-99 but would it be possible to put the AWD system in a 92+ ? Second I would like to transplant a M5 Engine in the 92+ body... can this be done ? is it cost effective ? Is it worth it ? I am one who cannot leave well enough alone I must tweek. I love the Idea of a badged 323i with a M5 engine and AWD in black with some nice rims... and I living in a fantacy world or should I sell my first born to do this or is this accuatualy possible on a somewhat tight budget (under 25K CND) thanks |

The cost will be astronomical, considering you have to change ALOT, not only the engine but also your transmission and the lot, even the exhaust (which u will do anyway for performance).
We haven't talked about increasing the brake size so its proportional to the power output, etc. But yea I wouldn't do it, if you really want an M5 then get an M5, don't buy a 3 series and do the transplant. Just my 2 cents. |
