I just completed a swap of a e36 BMW M3 motor (also inline 6) into a 1990 e30 M3 (small car that shipped with inline 4), which took about 4 months to get ironed out. No turbos involved in that one, but I did use entirely factory parts which made it a challenge.

I am pretty confident that given a good front clip I can move the harness (even make a new one if I have too) and get everything else out that I need. I am really drawn to the project because the initial outlay is likely to be less than $10k. I *know* that it is going to be hard, but this is going to be a second car so it is okay if it takes me 6 months to get the bugs worked out.

Thanks for the input.
