Posting this for a friend. A new engine required for an E30 318is coupe. May consider one from E36 318is. Preferably in Ireland. Any help appreciated. Thanks |

I think (from memory) someone tried to put an E36 318i engine into an E30 and it didn't fit right due to a difference between the sumps. ------------- Let The Good Times Roll |

You can swap the sumps. This moves the dipstick to the front of the engineand it is a tight fit with the cambelt cover but you can make it work. ------------- Cheers, Neil |
