How hard to swap 318i engine?
My brother decided that driving his car with a timing chain that sounded like a Panzer tank was a good idea.
Turns out it wasn't!
Now it would appear his timing chain snapped and his motor is likely tanked from what i've searched/read on here.
That being said, I hear that 318i motors can be had for cheap.
What I'm wondering is, how hard is it to do a motor swap? I'm more of a VW guy, but I figure that so long as I'm just dropping the motor in, and connecting some bolts/nuts, I shouldn't be too far off the mark.
So, is this a difficult swap? Anyone able to point me in the direction of a write up on how to do this?
Anyone have a good 318i motor kicking around?
