I was wondering if anyone in this forum has ever swapped a late-90's 2.8 liter BMW engine into an early 90's BMW 325i that came stock with a 2.5 liter power-plant ?

Id like to up the horse-power of the car some by making the swap, assuming there is enough room in the engine bay of a 1990 325i for the larger 2.8 L motor, and if the electrical and drive train connections can be made without major surgery to the car body. Is this a practical idea or too problematic to work ? I'd sure be grateful for any pointers.
