          Yes and we have heard it for some time. I am sorry to continue to read bad things about your engine. For the most parts they are not that bad.

              I love finally being able to barely pull away from a new Honda odyssey, now I don't get laughed at anymore.

                    But its great:D
                    I've got an M42 318iS at the moment and about shove in a Euro alloy block M52 2.5l in so hopefully I won't notice the weight difference as much as you!

                    The M42 is already heavier than M10 so the difference will be less compared to yours!

                    What suspension did you end up putting in after you did it?

                      I havent changed it yet , thats the problem. A few months before I did the swap I put in new Billies, and sport springs. The M50 install was kind of an unplanned thing. So I still need to switch my suspension out.
                      ......and I really hope it helps cause its like driving a completely different car, right now. Its not actually any lower, just like driving a boat.....and stopping an elephant.:D

                      24V M50, M3 cams, Turner Tune, full exhaust, ect....

                        never been so stressed or had so many problems in my life. biggest waste of money i've ever spent.

                        literally everything that can go wrong with a swap went wrong

                        it's only worth it the once a month i get to drive it

                            I have lil electrical gremlins that like to not die but for the most part I still like it...but I think this would be the case with any electrical modifications done to any car

                              Have yet to run into a problem, so I still love it. It's a hell of a lot easier to deal with than my swapped subaru was! Gotta love the looks on peoples faces when an old wagon with an s52 fires up in parking lots.
