Project Cologne is back with a vengeance! The M54B25 engine in this E46 325i has a rod knock, and in this episode we do the swap that was always planned, 330i M54B30 engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox. This marks the new chapter for project Cologne as we are going to turn it into a track capable car! After completing the swap, we go straight for the Nürburgring and do some laps with @mgcharoudin.
