Just ban me now.

Re-posting mine since I'm done and it's running now.

1. Engine- 92 e36 M50NV. E34 pan and pick up All stock for now. A/C & PS delete.

2. Engine Wiring- E36 harness, adapter from Nando. 403 DME, Dinan Chip

3. Drivetrain- G240, M42 dual mass flywheel, OE M42 Sachs clutch, G240 TOB and slave, 4.10LSD, E30 mounts. e36 325i driveshaft

4. Shift Lever and Linkage- euro 320 shift arms, UUC shift lever, new bushings

5. Motor Mounts- E28 green mounts, E36 mount arms

6. Brake Booster- stock, bone stock. Not even moved. Clearance is tight, about 1/4in but it doesn't hit it so why bother?

7. Steering System- E30 rack with condor PS delete plate.

8. Cooling System- M42 radiator, new thermostat and 80C aux fan switch. Will be running a spal pusher eventually

9. Exhaust System- OBD-1 headers to E36 y-pipe. Had my existing exhaust trimmed and bent to meet the y-pipe. Super super simple. New bosch 02 sensor.

Just a quick update. 18K miles later and all I've done is a belt tensioner, new coils/plugs and oil changes. Still loving the car! Thinking about looking into an S50 for next year though or a low boost turbo.

That relocated late model coolant reservoir is absolute money. Did you have to fab mounting points or is there an easier way? Where do you run the lines?

Yeah some angled aluminum and the original black tab thingy?? holds it down. The aluminum is fastened to the battery tray. The hose runs behind the engine, over the trans bell housing. The overflow runs through the wiper/blower motor area. Just some rubber hose wrapped in fire sleeve.

So my car is a work in progress as I am also doing big turbo in my GTI. Here's what I have so far.

Car: 1991 318is

Donor: 1999 M3, 143k perfectly running car

Parts taken from: 1999 Z3 2.8, E34 525i, E36 328i

Engine
- S52B32 OBD1
- M50 Manifold
- M50 Fuel Rail (considering switching back)
- Pink Injectors
- E34 oil pan
- Some ghost tune I had a buddy flashed with EWS delete

Engine Wiring
-Andrew's wiring harness adapter. Car was auto so will be getting rid of extra wires.

Drivetrain
- Z3 2.8 ZF trans. Stock clutch, flywheel and pressure plate.
- Z3 2.8 LSD 3.15

Suspension
- E36 M3 5 lug conversion up front(not installed)
- Z3 2.8 rear trailing arms(not installed)
- Eibach lowering springs(not installed)
- SACHs rear struts from a E36 328i
- E36 328i generic rear strut brace

Mounts
- Condor Bushings Engine and Trans. Having difficulty aligning the engine mounts but will try again soon.

Braking
- E36 M3 Front Brakes (Hubs, rotors, calipers, pads)
- Z3 Rear Brakes
- 944 Brake booster ( had the stock clevis welded to it)

Steering System
- E36 M3 steering rack with fresh tie rod ends. No spacers were needed however I have to shave the steering rod hole at the bottom. It was touch slightly.

Cooling System
- Mishimoto E36 radiator. Plan to run an E-fan in front of the condenser.
- E36 M3 hoses for now.

Exhaust System
- EBay SS headers
- Remus muffler

10. Exhaust System
Stock OBDII exhaust manifolds
Downpipes cut at flange and rewelded onto custom downpipes.
2.5' single piped exhaust
Vibrant ultra quiet resonator
Vibrant 1040 street muffler

How do you like your exhaust setup? I'm gonna be at that step soon, S52 with stock headers. And have similar parts, Vibrant 1149 Muffler and Vibrant 1141 2.5" Ultra Quiet Resonator and wondering how it's going to sound. I was originally planing on going from the headers to two individual 2.5" pipes with an x-pipe, then the two pipes to a Y-pipe and into the resonator, and single pipe the muffler. But, if yours sounds good, I may be able to mimic yours instead.

[sslum]

Curious on avg price for this swap/build

Looking to swap the e30 still figuring out my path. Depends on what I can get my hands on! Also what anyone would recommend. Find an s5x full setup or build from m52 block?

+1 I would like to see some pics of the modified manifolds and custom downpipes. Also very interested in the noise level with this set-up.

The exhaust manifold to downpipe connection is the only area of my M52 swap I have not quite figured out yet.

i'm still putting mine together, but i'm using an arcasylum modified subframe with stock s52 headers and downpipes

trout - thanks for sharing. That ArcAsylum piece looks beautiful - hope it's not too spendy.
