Z3 engine swaps...

[Audi180]

Hi...

I'm thinking of buying a Z3...
we don't have the M roadster in israel, and only 1 m coupe...


my question is:
is it possible to swap an m roadster engine into the 1.8 z3?

if so, what is required to do so?

thanks.

You will need engine, wiring harness, motor mounts, You will need to upgrade the shocks and springs. I think that is all I believe the tranny bolts up. You might need the flywheel and clutch. I would check on Bimmerforums.com

The chasis should be mostly similar, the m had special bracing though so go ahead and grab that. Realistically though grabbing this lower priced model and upgrading would probably be the same price as import.
