No you couldnt. The engine is out of an M3Evo, you will not find an m3 evo for around £3000.

they're cheaper, there's much less to go wrong, they're much easier to fix, more reliable, and only about 10% down on power.

Erm no.I said that for a reason.Everything myke has said is what i was thinking.
Also the 3.2 may be quicker and have more power on paper but they rarely make close to the 321bhp quoted.Infact they rarely make 300bhp.

They're no less reliable than the 3 litres, the only thing people really have an issue with is the VANOS playing up, but wait, it does that on the 3 litre too.

The 3 litres don't very often make 286bhp by the way

Yes but alot more so on the 3.2 as its twin vanos and the 3.0 is single.

The 3.0 makes closer to its power than the 3.2 does tho.

The 3 litre suffers from oil starvation as the sump design is crap, the 3.2 doesn't.

It's swings and roundabouts TBH, they're both as 'bad' as eachother.
