The M30 has been put into the 02s before. It is not generaly a good idea as the M30s weigh a lot as compared to the M10. This added nose weight makes the handeling VERY strange, you also have to cut and weld. If you want an M20 engine, wiring and brain email bretluter@hotmail.com The weight is the bigest problem as the distrabution get crazy, the M20 barly fits, the S14 is the best choice. IF you absolutly had to go M30, go 3.5L out of a later car.
For all your 02 info www.bmw2002faq.com
good luck
