Manifold Injectors & feed rail Engine wiring loom Air filter Air flow meter ECU Distributor If you really want to go for it, best way would be to find a 318i roughly the same age that's being scrapped for rot issues and swap everything bit by bit. There are bound to be hoses (fuel and vacuum) that are different. HTH Stuart Edited by StuBeeDoo, Thu 19 Feb 2009, 16:59:07.

If it does, the fuel tank will have to be changed as well because you'll need the one with the pump in.
