why dont you do some searching on ebay??

they have like 10-15 s52's for $2500<


and no there not 220k pos's


but i dont even intend on buying from ebay, i plan on buying a wrecked m3, and getting the motor out of it, then parting the rest of the car.

thats why i need to know what all works from a e30...bc e36 m3's aren't cheap...even totaled

make sence?

No, I don't make sence. There's a Sence factory down the street that makes sence but they're going out of business in a few months.

Seriously kid, do a whole lot of reading and then if you still have questions you can come ask us. Or if you want to bring the car up to my shop I'll get it swapped for you in a timely fashion and it will work right the FIRST TIME but it's going to cost WAY more than $1500...

i have for the last time.
damn people.



i'm just clarifying things.

holy shit you ppl make a huge controversy over nothing.

[e30s52]

not counting motor.
i know that will cost atleast 2000$

but thats for all the other shit, parts, fabbing, etc..


i'm not that stupid..

hahaha you have no clue. My s52 cost me around 3500ish then putting in it in the car around 4ish.

Go search then maybe come back or better yet ask your friend and not us. Its annoying as hell to answer this same question once a week. Use the fucking search BUTTON!!!!!!!!:hitler:

so does the getrag 260 and e30 325 drive shaft work or not?

[Fidhle007]

the swap can be done for 1k all said and done (including custom exhaust, ebay headers) with junk yard parts...

but OP, your 1500 budget doesnt include any sort of m3 engine

What swap can be done for $1k? A crappy, tired M50 $400+; Ebay headers $200; custom exhaust $500; Oil pan and sump $300; assuming you use your ancient 260 and driveshaft then there's either labor to make a brace or a DougSic one $100... There's still motor and tranny mounts, lots of misc seals and some sort of wiring harness. And that's being cheap about it, to do it right would be a lot more expensive then that. I did mine for $3k and I got a screaming deal on everything that was used and wholesale on all the new parts I used.

For a 220k mile piece of shit maybe...

Like not even an old, crappy m50.

this thread is a "want in one hand and shit in the other hand and see which one fills up first" syndrome...

[Fidhle007]

spending no more than 1500$

ive already got a 325i vert, and a 325es to strip parts off of.


i am under the impression by using the search that a getrag 260 with a stock 325 drive shaft will work with the setup?

You're fucked. You can't even get a motor for that.

Well theres your answer then! You need to figure a minimum of $4k+ for such a swap!!!
