Building an s5x e30

I thought about eurotrashing my 318 out :) It's one of my favorite cars to drive

But you really do "ruin" the car because things become unusable or irreparable due to rust/cutting them up.

If you have a clean or decent shape car then I really don't see why you'd cut it up and make it rust. If you already have a car that's beyond fixable due to rust then I'd just find another that won't fall apart around you.

i was saying it in jest a little. I still don't think people have the s54 worked completly out for being in an e30. Still some compromise you have to make to get it running correctly in our cars. Could be wrong but that is the way it seems from the threads I've seen.

BTW the s52 is fun but not going to knock your socks off fast. It has a very usable power curve. With the right gearing its a solid choice for our cars. Wouldn't mind some more power however, and currentlt building another s52 to hopefully turn some heads.

S54 pops right in. Usually the "problems" are just lack of guts/funds/planning to complete the project.

You would have no problem installing a s54!

It's just a 24v swap. People said this all day about e36+s54, but it was easy to smash that myth
