Awwwweee....
Hmmmm.... there are thousands of S50B30 and S50B32 daily drivers across the rest of the world, and other than the SMG I versions, no one has been complaining about using them as grocery getters too.....
S14 now...that is a buzzy little beast...I could see someone saying that they prefer an M50 for daily driving compared to that particular M-motor.......
Maybe you have more time driving euro motors than I do....
(that is not meant as obnoxiously as it came out.... I didn't have my 3.2 in a streetable car for THAT long, but it was a blast and fine while I could drive it on the street)

i must say the euro s50 is a lot more of a race motor and less of a daily driver than the US version. solid lifters, itb's. this shit is not comfortable to daily drive. whereas I feel the US s50 is much smoother than the m20 and much more streetable. euro s50 seems more similar to an s54Leave a comment:

You would need the Euro S50, and it would be totally worth it.
Seriously though, the two motors share zero parts. You could hack together a ITB US S50, but it wouldn't hold a candle to the euro (infinite vs stepped vanos, head design, ......).
Or go the other route of buy an S54 ($3200 in socal on bf.c right now....) and get Bimmerworld or Alex L's kit. $6500, S54 wired in to start in your car, same price +/- $200 or so as a Euro S50 3.2.
Or, do a hack job with a US S50 and make it run like shit trying to emulate the euro motor on the cheap. Your call.Leave a comment:

S50 euro vs S50 US
What's the difference between these two engines other than displacement and ITB's? If I wanted to build a euro s50 from a US s50, what would I need and would it be worth it?
