this is pure inspiration for me.
before I purchased my cabrio I always thought a s5x swap would be fun as hell. My friends e46 sounds like sex and pulls amazingly...My other buddy has a boosted m50...So I knew I'd love the power...
After having my cabby for a bit now I kinda hate the thought of tearing it apart since it runs so nice....
would I be able to get the s50 running like a top and being just as nice?
can't wait to see your results

Also went to the local salvage yard today, picked up a zf transmission and driveshaft out of a 328ci. Lucky find! Also got the proper oil cap..lol.
Dropped the flywheel off today to be lightened, nothing too aggressive. I'm going to keep the M20 starter and clutch assembly.'87 325ic, powered by S50.

Well the motor rebuild is 99% complete!!! Have to finish up the vanos rebuild and then it can be buttoned up. I'm waiting on my lightened flywheel to come in before mating the trans to the engine for the drop in. I scored and picked up a zf trans for $99 out of a 328ci!!! So that's going in with a short shift kit. Switching out the 4.10 for a 3.25.
Will be running the pink top injectors and 3.5 MAF, with that I decided to run the TRM tune and picked up a bimmerworld silicone intake boot. Just placed an order for raceland headers, the rest of the exhaust will probably be e36 midpipe and magnaflow muffler. Using a Porsche 944 brake booster and M42 radiator for the integrated expansion tank. Hopefully a handful more work hours and it will be running. I'm really anal about it so will have all the wires, clips, holders and stuff in place and hidden properly. Eventually I will sort out the AC hose adapters so I'll have AC to keep the wifey happy. Hoping for 270ish hp. Starting to get excited......
All I want now is the cow catcher Alpina 147 front spoiler and 8 inch Alpina rims ;)'87 325ic, powered by S50.

When you get that cow catcher, let me know what's up with that current lip. It's exactly what I want to run on my S50 car :)
Is 270hp at the wheels attainable with 3.5 MAF, Pink tops, Raceland headers and a TRM tune? That's beastly for an S52.Need a part? PM me.
