    '04 325ci / 330 engine swap

    Probably discussed here often but, any help is appreciated.
    I have an'04 325ci with about 85k miles on it. Engine overheated and is destroyed.
    I really like the car and want to take this opportunity to install a 330 motor.

    A few questions:

    1. Will my 5 speed manuel transmission work?
    2. Do I need new catalytic converters?
    3. Are headers a good idea?
    4. What year(s) 330 engines will work?
    5. Reputable used engine provider recommendations?


    I'm on the West coast.
    Again,
    Thank you very much in advance.
