An M3 engine into a 316.

How much work did that take, what with having to
change transmission, suspension & brakes etc??

not really sure, but its a 325, not a 316, I just stuck the badge on for a laugh
Apparantly the engine and ancilleries are all M3, but from the gearbox back its all standard 325. Even the clutch, which is coping surprisingly well with 300bhp.

Brilliant! You can’t beat a sleeper , Wait to some poor sole in his E46 M3 tries to hand you a whooping, and suddenly realises that he shouldn’t of bothered.

The four exhaust pipes and 265 section rear tyres kind of give the game away though
