S50 or S52

[e30s52]

Not really. More parts for the s52 then s50 but they are almost the same. S52 are plentifull and can be had for less money with lower miles.

yeah so I can save money with the S50 by not having to convert it

s50 is OBDI and s52 is OBDII.

So I have searched on this so dont flame me.

So Im trying to decide which to go with the 50 or 52, being that I am doing this in my iX the added torque of the 52 isnt really what I'm going for since that could be my demise. Other than that extra torque and the obvious displacement what are the difference's in the engine? do you they drive differently? I have not experience with them, my M3 has a S54 so if anyone can compare that would help. Either way I go I am planning on some mods like euro AFM and cams.

thanks
