    What Would You Do?

    I need some help. My BMW soul is being racked with eternal torment right now. Here is the situation. I have a recently finished, labor of love, 1989 325iS M50 swap, chassis has around 200k+ miles. I also have a 1989 325iS with 85k miles, currently with no engine.

    Question. Do I sell my project that I have poured hours and sweat into in order to dump an S52 into the white one, or do I sell the white one and boost my baby, the M50?

    Help.

    Sell the M50 project, and do an S52 in the other shell.

          Nothing is wrong with it. Runs super strong. 80k miles. But it just isn't quite fast enough for me. Or maybe I just need to grow up and drive slow. Haha.

            What else are you going to drive while boosting the M50

            Or sell none, and work on the one without engine while enjoying the finished one..

                ^ This. Too much cash into the M50 to recoup the investment, so enjoy it and work on the white one.

                    I like that idea. If only I had more garage space...

                        I vote you grow up and drive slow!
                        The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

                            Swap stock M20 in to car with no engine and sell car.

                            Use profit from extra car to buy S52 and replace your M50 with said S52.
