if i had the money i'd buy it from you. There's also some guy on ebay selling a euro spec 95 M3 motor that i think is at $3,000 now.

You're engine should fit e30 bmw's...old 325's ('85-'91) and 318's ('84-'91). here's an article about it:

...and BMP Design did this engine swap and then some in an e30:

You won't have the great exterior design of your e36 m3, but i'm guessing that you would have better performance with that engine in a e30 because i think the e30 325i weights around 500 lbs less than the e36 m3.

Hope this all helped...although i'm not sure about other 3-series or Vdubs.
