I am new here and planning on building a 1991 e30 318is. Need some opinions and tech assistance...such as engine swaps and parts lists.
Thank you all for input in advance
Going into my TENTH YEAR of providing high quality reproduction BMW fabrics!
PRICE CUT on ALL FABRICS
Offering the best prices on the best quality reproduction fabrics!
318is is my base. I am looking for opinions on a build such as what engine and trans combo and if needed a rear end change...Don't know how else to put it
Dude, go search on R3V, more info on that site than you could ever read.

Thank you all....sorry for such a low rate intro...not to sure the etiquette for forums such as this
Not sure it's really an etiquette problem, more that you said "Need some opinions and tech assistance...such as engine swaps and parts lists." which can mean anything and everything under the sun. What is it you're looking to swap in? A Briggs & Stratton 4-stroke? V12 from a Murcielago? Provide some specifics on what you're looking for and people might be able to at least point you to current discussions already taking place. Other than that, use the search tool, or heck, there's an entire section called "Engine Conversions"; go there and go to town! As someone else mentioned, R3VLimited is a community dedicated to E30s, also a good reference.
Oh, and welcome!
I guess my biggest dilemma is v8 or straight six...I have ideas about suspension and braking. I am looking for the biggest bang for my buck...Not so many BMW's in the Tucson area that are built not bought. What will fit? What will put fear into the heart of a vtec? I have multiple resources as far as help with welding and paint as well as drivetrain if adjusting is needed. This is my first build with german so I do not want to screw it up.
