Any e30 swap shops in Orlando?

[webbiee]

Picked up someone else's project and have worked out most the kinks but just don't have the time and space to continue.

I need to find a shop that is well rehearsed on the e30 s50 swap, specifically the wiring.
If anyone has any good reviews of shops in or around orlando it would be greatly appreciated.

Or if anyone wants to come by and take a look I'll make it worth it$$$:o

Too bad you are about 3hrs away. We do 24v swaps all the time.

hit up Precision Sport Industries. They are good guys and charge fair prices

I just recently was given a complete S52 with Trans and everything I need from my cousin in NY and I'm debating on trying to do this swap myself or look for a shop to do it for me. Glad to hear there are some options in north-central Florida.

At this point it doesn't even have to be in Orlando.

Can you get the car to Fort Lauderdale?

PSI is in Winter Park. Have a ton of experience. I'm sure John would take great care of you but PSI has good prices and is in town without driving several hours. I have PSI work on a few of my cars and I drive 2 hours each way to see them

I have friends that have gone to PSI and follow their social media, but don't know if I have ever seen them with an e30 - they generally work on late model stuff. I'm sure they could handle it, though. We are an e30 specialist (and have all the OBD1 tuning equipment etc), but like you said, it's a drive (little more than 2hrs). We have regulars that come form Orlando/Keys/Tamps and even have a car from Atlanta in the shop right now.

We also have competitive prices. Three guys in a small shop, we are on a very personal level with our clients.

Actually if it's just a wiring issue, we can convert the harness to plug and play to the e30 chassis, the car wouldn't really NEED to come down.

They've done quite a few e30 swaps including my S50 swap and a few S54 swaps. I also know they built an E30M3. Like I said for convenience sake PSI is a great option. No doubt you guys would take care of him as well. My recommendation was more based on convenience and ease with a quality place down the road from him. Like I said you guys do good work and even talked to you about doing some stuff a lil while ago. Either way best of luck OP

I have a few friends in Jacksonville that can do the swap, all very well verse on bmw's I even have an M3 motor for sale for anyone who wants to do a swap in thier car, I am local. you can email me at bmwextremeparts@yahoo.com on either my motor or my friends availability to do the swap due other customers. If it can be a side project should not be an issue.

Good post. They should show more e30's when they have them! Round headlights and old school is where it's at. :D

We have a great community down here, for sure. You ever see a rusted out turbo e30 around your parts? He's a local friend going to school up there.

Yeah, distance can be a killer. Feel free to click the links in my sig, small part of what we do down here. There's 10 e30's here right now, love working on them. The best feeling is when your "job" isn't actually a "job". It's like not working a day in your life.

By the way, welcome to r3v ;)

I've lurked for a while. I feel the same way about what I do for a living. Haven't seen a rusted E30 yet but I'll be on the lookout. I've been dairying my supercharged E60 tip the E30's interior is redone. I'll be on the lookout and will come by next time I'm down your way

Well it was narrowed down to the fuel pump not getting power. Tried to just hook up a quick fix with an on/off switch but as soon as I touch the new ground to the battery it sparks and gets too hot to hold.

Other wires are getting hot somewhere behind the ignition and in the harness adapter.
