325ic to icX conversion. - Page 2 - United Bimmer Community

yah its pretty damn hard to convert a convertible or any non-ix e30 to awd, as the fron shock towers are different. Also i think it would be next to impossible on the convertible b/c of the additional cross-bracing present to stiffen the chassis.

Save your money and buy an ix or a subaru or something, then spend a few bucks a month and put the cabby in storage for the winter.

if i remember correctly. the engines arnt interchangable

that might just be what i heard

**xsperf** · 11-28-2005, 08:56 PM

whatever, if you find a junked IX or whatever, you could def. do it, since you can just bolt on all the parts, take some time, but you can do it

**komodo** · 11-28-2005, 09:08 PM

Call some junkyards. If you can find an ix where the engine blew and the car was totalled, the suspension and FWD would still be intact.

**tomctx** · 11-28-2005, 09:20 PM

One of the driveshafts runs through the oilpan, so that would have to be changed. The front suspension is different, I don't remember exactly how, so it probably wouldn't be a straight swap. all in all, sounds very iffy and expensive.
