    I think you need to change the booster too, but i'm not too sure. Check the site, there may be a thread that may help you with answers somewhere.

                  Its times like these where I really really miss Jordan owning this site.

                  As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                  You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                    Yes the s50/52 are m3 motors and they will definetly fit because 100's/1000's of people have done the swap. This forum is more for people who have actually started their project. Try this link http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forumdisplay.php?f=129 and search around.

                        Put in a motor from a BMW 1600. s52s are so 2007.

                              Hell no. Run the 1600 motor with dished pistons from a 2002 turbo. Match that with a 2.9 diff and you'll be bat shit insane fast
