Yeah it’s a fairly common swap actually.

Buh, tempting me to get an E30 again. Always ideas for the “next project”. 😉

or you can just buy and s13 for less or an s14 for a bit more, not have to pay out the ass for german parts, have better reliabiliy and less custom work, lighter and probably better balanced, plus its not a gay hibrid swap plus have a better source of parts and brauder community and a pimper car.

but i hear buyin an s13 or s14 now makes you a bandwagoner and its not cool and origional.

haha jks
