Many racers use a 325 tranny since it's lighter than an M3 tranny. Ultimately the 325 may not last as long depending on how much you abuse it but then you can probably get three of them for the price of one M3 tranny. If you go with a M3 tranny you will need a different drive shaft also. I'm not sure if a M3 diff will fit in a 325 rearsubframe but my guess is it will. However - putting a M3 engine in a 325 opens you up to a higher risk of having the rear subframe mounts rip out. An M3 came with beefier mounting points for the rear subframe. One other thing I'd do a bit more research on the 92 ecu and engine harness being compatible with an M3 motor. The 92 IIRC did not have vanos so I doubt the wiring harness on a 92 has the appropriate connectors to control the vanos of the M3. Starting in 93 all E36s had Vanos.

Reinforce the rear trailing arm mounts while you're back there. > One other thing I'd do a bit more research on the 92 ecu and engine > harness > being compatible with an M3 motor.

This is probably going to be an issue, for the reasons that Marco listed. - Mark ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out my JustRacing homepage at: http://www.justracing.com/homepage/mdadgar ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2007 13:05:04 -0400 From: Kathy Lyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: BMWUUC Digest <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], CR List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mission accomplished!

A first-year event, the Cleveland 3-Day raised over $2.8M for Komen! Pretty strong result in my view.
