Last time I was in the e30 scene there were only a couple crazy people who were attempting this. Has anyone found a way to fit the motor with out gobs of fabrication? I can't imagine the wiring.

The wiring isn't a breeze, but it wouldn't be that bad to put into an e30.;)

A water pump alone on that motor is $500.

Isn't it being sold by Zionsville Autosport? That would make me more trusting versus some guy who is just selling it.

I doubt it has 36 miles. It says the last carfax record shows 36 miles, which probably when it was inspected/registered to the owner. Who knows how long he drove before he wrecked. Either way, $4900 is cheap. I loved my e46 m3. I wish I knew someone who could put that thing in...

36 miles? Who the fuck crashes their car on the way home from the dealer.

Let the prices drop then I can have an S52 for even cheaper.

Eh?

euro guys use the VW MK2 brake booster to clear the s50b32.. might work on this motor also?

I did not know this was an option. I've heard a Porsche 944 booster does the trick.

you're going to see a lot of s54s at that price or lower in the next couple of years. the e46 m3 is getting to the age where more and more of them will be parted out. look at how expensive s52s were a couple of years ago. they dropped massively in price.

Yeah, that insane deal for a complete s50 w/ zf 320 is very tempting.

+1 on both counts.... by the time you add everything else you'll need you'll be at 2x the price
