    I think I asked in the e36 pan into e30 24v thread, but I don't recall getting an answer there, but...

    Are the s54/e30 and the e36pan on 24v/e30 subframes the same, or similar? Could I get the e36 pan for s52 now, then upgrade to the s54 and just send an s54 pan out and run the same subframe, or is that something that could potentially be engineered? I think a modular, and upgradable setup would really get a lot of bites.

      The current subframes will fit both setups! Single rear pickup e36 or dual pickup s52/s54.

        That is excellent information, and makes me more interested than before. I will be in touch!

          I'm working on an affordable fully fabricated subframe as well. Getting harder to source clean ones in the Midwest.

            I found E34 oil pan to be perfect with E28 mounts plus 5mm spacer on both. Only the cooling fins are exposed under the subframe level. With the stock front valance lip installed you can only see the cooling fins of the E34 oil pan and that is something good, you don't have to mount external oil cooler. This is only for us who like stock look and who like the E30 as a day driver and not racing.

                Hmmmm aluminum ? That would be awesome. Probably ultimately easier that steel.

                The ends could be milled and the center section a bar....come on Tyler....do it
                :) put me down for 1.

                  What sway bar mount are people using to mount the sway bar up front? I am using a stock E30 M3 bar that has the tab up front and one bolt in back. I need a mount that uses 2 bolts. Thanks.

                    Haha! I dont think anyone would want to pay for a partial billet aluminum subframe.

                          I think Arc Asylum is what you need:

                            TinyT is the arc asylum
                            And yes this service allows you to use the s54 pan after he modifies it and your old subframe to work together

                              about how much it will run me when sending my subframe?
