Swapping engine.
Asked by GuruM1XJ May 17, 2017 at 06:20 PM about the 1994 BMW 3 Series 325i Sedan RWD
Question type: General
Good evening,
I've got an e36 325 coupe, and i wanted to add
more power. Changing the engine was an idea so
would a 1jz engine be a suitable option for a daily
drive? Or what engines exactly would be more
suitable for a daily drive?

A 1jz swap is actually fairly common on E36s. It could be done to make a reliable daily while still being track-ready. It probably won't be the cheapest thing in the world, but it would make one hell of a fun car! Look up tommyfyeah on Youtube. He is actually selling a 1j setup right now for an E36. I'm not sure if it's been sold yet, though. It may be listed on throtl.com.
Can you switch a 2001 BMW 325i engine to a 2003 BMW 325i engine??

You should be able to use the 2001 engine in your 2003. I would ask on a website like bimmerfest.com or bimmerforums.com in the E46 section just to be sure. Those guys will know better.
