This is the way to go if you have your heart set on a euro S50.Originally posted by Bimmerman325i View Post
It Is an outdated engine though, the big attraction to it was the electrical system is a simple swap into an E30. Now there is standalone engine management that can make the S54 happy and there's ways around drive by wire. Couple that with the age of the euro engines and the lack of availability of low mileage examples... Thats before getting into parts availability and prices.
If you have your heart set on a factory DME for driveability and whatnot, you can get the S50 DME and harness and put it on the S54 with a tune and EWS delete. Then you'll be in business.-Dave

Alex L. is the way to go. A co-worker of mine got the S50B32 in his E36 M3 from Alex and had nothing but good things to say about him.-Justin

I looked at bringing in a Diesel engine for my Land Rover a little while ago, unless you know someone who is bringing a container over and you can catch a ride with them its quite expensive.
To bring a compete drive train over as a LCL (less than container load) with packaging and all that jazz it was going to cost around 2500 plus the cost of the drive train.
Look for a s54 locally.Comment
