If you could use any engine in the E30...

isnt an sti FWD??? how would you get that to work?
thats one thing i love about the e30. its rwd. why fuck it up and go front wheel drive?

It's awd and when doing a swap, I modify/DE modify it to RWD ;)

I never said anything about drivetrain :D

S38B38. And I WILL do it someday. /thread.

Stalker ;). That's my dad's M5, or at least a similar car. Same color, same engine (duh) and same zomg-thats-clean engine bay. Where'd the pic come from?

If it was BMW it would either be a V10 N/a or an 850 motor...

The old M5 M52 engine V8 TT'd...


If it was completely unconventional and raw peak hp, only one engine for me...

Tri-turbo 20B Custom ported... 1000Rwhp at 3x3psi

That's an M62, not an M52. Noob.

ANd also what are the differences between this S38 vs the old S38 that came in the e28 and the M6?

Without going into too much technical jargon, the primary difference is the displacement. 3453cc in the E28 M5/E24 M6, 3535cc in the E34 M5 3.6, and 3795cc in the E34 M5 3.8.

Give me the latter with a 5-lug swap in an E30.
