I'm 17 years old and I have a 1995 BMW 318ti. I would like to swap in an M3 engine into it to make it much faster than it is now. This costs about $3, 000 dollars when include the purchase of a wrecked BMW M3 that I'll buy, towing services for it etc. Right now I only have $250 so this won't happen anytime soon. First, I have to buy the car I drive now from my parents for 3k (what they bought it for). Then, I will get the other crashed car and swap them. I am getting a job right before summer. I need a plan for how to get there, because I WILL GET THIS DONE. I really want to. I dont want to hear the "this isnt practical" crap, because i post on 318ti.org and many of them have done this. I just need the funds, so how long will it take and how can I make additional money other than my job I'll get?
Thanks!
Me and my dad are doing the labor.
He has done a lot of work on cars including an engine swap in a Nissan that he has.
 
foir a 17 yr old, in this bad economy, if you do not already have a job, then it will take 3-4 YEARS to save that much money. it all depends on how much money you will make at your summer joba nd how much your parents make you pay for gas and insurance on the car you already have - you won;t be able to spend any money on ANYTHING else and it still might take years to save up all you will need - who is going to take the engine out of both cars and install the good one in the other car? - that's a major operation and auto repair labor for BMW's will run you at least $60-80 an hour
