OP I think you should try it and let us know. If it works for you please post a step by step how-to. We would be forever grateful!!

Yes it will fit in a E30 but you have to use the oil pan off a 1997-2000 South African Land Rover Defender 2.8.

hai gays,

has anyone here put bbs rs on their e30s? i wanna know what it looks liek. plz post pics. kthx!

this swap has been done literally thousands of times. it depends on your definition of 'good,' because there are pros and cons to everything.

personally, i like the m42. with the m50 you're only going 2.5l and gaining considerable weight for not much power; stock for stock.

but seriously, holy shit. how have you been on here for over a year and never come across an m50 swap?

[grahamsy2k]

woah guys, slow down, My friends was just talking about it and I have never heard about it so I was asking. so im guessing it is bad?

[mkcman17]

omg what the fuck does 'good' or 'bad' mean!?

in short:

yes your car will be faster
yes your car will be heavier
yes your car will lose mpg

I thought it was an oil pan and tranny from an 02 disco. Please clarify.

No just the R380 transmission off the TD5 Disovery and thats only if you want to do a AWD 24v E30.
