Would you let run this car here in germany ?
No chance, you can not put a older engine in a car, only younger is legal. Emissons level is here the rule for engine swap.
A 318ti have minimum Euro1 emisson level, when it is a M44 engine then it hve Euro 2. You need minimum a engine in the same level.
So the best is a M50B25TÜ or a M52B25/ M52B28 for you.
The M20 enigne is cheap yes, but it is a 12valve with a belt for the valve, man forget this.
