e30 to s50 swap? Clear parts list ?

[Luis325]

Id need to ride in one!!! Anyone wanna give me a ride in an s52 powered E30??

Ive searched allot just not convinced its worth it.......
Ive ridden in a 3.1 strocker and the same owner has a e36 m3 with the s52 with a few
few boltons and the e30 is way faster.......

Remember how much lighter an E30 is than an E36 M3, especially if you've made any effort to shed weight.

If you aren't convinced it's worth it, then drop $5k+ into a proper 3.1L stroker build and do it.

this is 100% true

Even the wiki has a pretty basic list which is linked on this forum.

And I'd bet my 3.2 24v E30 is faster than his 3.1 M20 E30. As mentioned above, the weight difference between the E30 and E36 is the difference there. Just saying..

^An E36 M3 is what 400lbs heavier?
