by the time you do the conversion right you may as well have just sold your 325 and bought an m3.

^^^Agree

Agreed Again ^^

The cost of those parts alone will be more expensive than finding the whole car.

agreed again.
the process in doing an E30 m3 conversion has been asked so many friggen times, not to point at you.
but, you are a lot better off just buying an E30 M3, plus its pointless to have a m20 engine and other random 325 parts when you can save money and just get an E30 M3.

yea but the thing about the e30 m3 there was only 1606 of them shipped to the us

I think there were more like.... umm 5000? I think?
I would go ahead and buy the E30 ///M3 myself too, but like the E30 style, so I'm going to update the engine to an E36 ///M3 engine, no body mods. Those S14 engines are high strung, and 9 times out of 10, they have been beat to hell. Just think about it, some of those engines/blocks are 15+ years old.... The E36 ///M3 engine isn't that much heavier than the M20 anyways, and if you have an eta, you'll be doubling your horsepower... woot!

If you look hard enough there are plenty of people selling e30 M3's. You can get a decent one that only needs a litle bit of work, or you can spend the extra cash and get one that has been taken care of.
