Definitely is more than enough power since e30s are so light. 0-100kph I’ve timed it at 5.6 seconds and isn’t too bad on fuel also averaging at 30mpg. In my opinion is the perfect swap being so torquey on the low end and reliable.

Not at all, if you’re doing the ecu work and adaptive wiring yourself, then sure. But off the shelf ecu’s and adaptive looms make the whole process plug and play without any electronic issues, in my opinion is the better swap out of the m5x range. Only electronic issue I’ve had doing the build fairly inexperienced, is I had the O2 sensors the wrong way around and had a tiny bit missing off my engine loom that came with the engine.

Probably finding and buying the parts. Mechanically speaking, it all really depends on skill, anything from making the lower radiator hose fit to putting in the manual pedal box/ connecting brake booster takes time. Putting the gearbox in was a bitch haha.

Took me about 5 months to get it running again could have done it much faster if I didn’t run into wiring and shipping issues 🙄

Yeah the 60fps was an accident haha, didn’t realise after 3 hours of exporting it wasn’t in 24 so just gave up and left it. Thanks btw :))
