They should be a grand fit. They only have a 20 offset, Currently got 9.5 rears with a 20 offset and a 20 mm spacer sor heres hoping that i dont need
a spacer
fronts will fit grand without a spacer too.
car was a standard 323i but the engines had a bit of work so shold now be on or over the 200BHP mark, My plan is to get the hang of chucking it about
with this engine then do an M£ transplant next winter.
all the work is now complete just got to fit the rebuild M3 diff and paint it ![](/images//smilies/shocked.gif)
Im trying to get it ready for a track day at Knockhill on 1st Nov![](/images//smilies/bigsmile.gif) ![](/images//smilies/bigsmile.gif) ![](/images//smilies/shocked.gif) ![](/images//smilies/shocked.gif)
Al my other toys have been sold to fund this build. (not quite locost![](/images//smilies/sad.gif) )
Im getting the car back next week so will post some pics of the rear end (ooo er mrs)
cheers

Without the spacer the outside edge of the new wheels should be 2mm further in than the old ones with spacer.

M£ would appear to be a fair statement after a quick ebay search to see how much the engines are fetching. Fantastic engine though for the money.
Surprised we dont see more being fitted into locosts.

M£ was i admit a typo but probably on the mark.
M3 engines can be anything from 1200 upwards depending on spec. for a good 350BHP with loom etc and a bit of work done you will pay over £2000,
considering you can pay that for a 200 BHP 16v redtop its good power for your money.
It sounds awsome as well ![](/images//smilies/bigsmile.gif) ![](/images//smilies/cool.gif)
Il need to save up for one thats why It'll wait till next winter.
Cheers

Two grand for an engine? You've probably got enough room in there for a Chevy LS1 - 400 bhp out of the box, and have a bit for towards a
turbo
