That's nice. Not my cup o'tea, though, since that heavy V8 will impede on the whole balance of the car. But for dragsters, it'd be sweet.

For me, S52, please. :D

If I were worried about the whole weight thing, I would at least try and make it through the entire holiday season without eating an entire forking box of chocolate covered cherries in a day.

So, which makes more power? BMW world says 286@5700 http://www.bmwworld.com/engines/m62.htm

Woot! Damn near as much power as your gramma's 1992 Eldorado.

They also sell the mounts to do it for $300.

i have both an s52e30 and an e39 540 and i can only imagine what that v8 would feel like in an e30 shell. it would be way more fun than the s52
it just seems like a whole lot more work

Shit, I'd be happy getting 35mpg in the city on 87 octane, then add a 4.27 LSD.

It is a nice install, but good-fucking-luck changing your spark plugs.

Every single topic gets repetitive when you have been around the forums long enough.
