NANDO, you say the motor for the econometer can be switched out. Will this allow my gauge to finally read properly? I have the s52 and I get a whoping 36 miles to the gallon… aww yeah…… yeah fucking right, I calculated a solid 17mpg by running my tank empty filling a gallon and seeing how far it got me. I would like my on board computer and econometer to read the correct readings if possible. It will just be cleaner… (mentally for myself)

do the subframes swap?
as it's a much more clever design, it would take a ton of fabrication.
The front, it might, but why? It's just a tube...
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves

OK, so I was looking up the costs of buying an S50/52 engine for my E30, and had a thought of just buying a 96-98 M3, and swapping over parts. Now, heres my confusion:
can I swap over the front and rear suspension to do a 5-lug conversion as well? Or will I need to source other parts to complete the swap?Needs: Working window regulators for my E30 sedan;)

Also you can't swap the rear suspension out, you will need to get e30 m3 or 318ti components or re-drill the current hubs. Tho you should read up on that, to see what suits you best.
