E30 S50 swap

[Avus_325is]

Inline, if you are looking for anybody to help you out with the swap or get info in the area, check out the East Coast BMW meets. There is a guy with an S52 in a grey/rust eta(just throws the hood on the ground when he showed off the motor. I can't remember the guys name but he's a real helpful guy.

It's not like oversteer is an outstanding solution to understeer.

oh yes it is :twisted:
Bill, you're just bitter because you can only do that in first gear ;)

Dudes, I totally saw that coming. You can do better.

My statement still stands!

No, the motor I'm getting from Wes isn't the one currently in his 325. It's a Non-VANOS motor, w/104k miles on it.

So YOU'RE the guy!!! haha, I didn't know it was you.

I use to head down to the ECB meets last semester when I was at UMBC. They sort of got lame towards the holiday season because the cops kept running us out of Tyson's. Now that they are being held at Racing Dynamics I wish I was still goin' to school in Baltimore. Unfortunately the faculty at UMBC apparently think I have a drinking problem and asked me not to come back :evil: . I might try to head out this summer a few times though since I got friends in Gaithersburg and Silver Spring.

I was told that his car was in the shop getting the motor torn down.
