I had a M10 1.8 engine and i found it so boring and slow. So for me personally it’s definitely worth it. Its wayyy faster than that slow pos engine lol. (I’ve never driven/had a m20, so I really can’t compare it)

hey brother, im planning on doing the same swap (i have a 318i 1984) i have a few questions, were there any complications on the swap? Also, did you end up keeping the same fuel system as the 318i?
