OBD-I car / engine exchanges (1995 ti with 1995 M3 for example) are plug-n-play... I have personally seen several swapped tis now, and all the OBD-I swaps were swap and go. No dealer involvement.
Great info J!M,
I think this is the route I'm going to take if I decide to follow through.
So just to be clear, from 1994 until a certain build date in '95, these are OBD I 318ti's, correct? And by installing an OBD I M3 engine from a 1995 M3, I should be ok, right?
By the way J!m, thanks for the swap conversion publication. Very professional and step by step for guys like me.
Cheers!
Chris
