    Looking to swap in an S50

    Im sure there are a million threads about this, but I am just curious if anyone has a good source for parts in the Puget Sound area?

          Thats not true. As long as you replace the hoopalator valve at the first sign of magnito reluctor modial interactor malfunction, the turbo encabulator should always be encapsulated in a high temperature anti seize lubricant before installation , and be sure wiggle pin is securely fastened in the wobble shaft. Process is really very , very simple .

          Good luck op!

            that is complete nonsense! the hoopalator valve is not replaceable! the entire magnito reluctor needs to be replace, but everyone knows that BMWNA no longer distributes them, due to the R1480 leak back in the late 90's. The only way to get that is to contact Dirk VanWestervelt , PM me and i can pass on his number.

              Dirk hasn't carried magnito reluctors for some time, he referred me to a Jim Stennin, who apparently will modify the S54 units to work. You'll need to locate your own supply of fresh R1480, these cars are getting to be 10 years old now so it's worth doing while you're in there.

                what Joe and Justin are really trying to tell you is that with a little duct tape and jb weld, you can even install that s70 you have been eyeing for a couple of months now.

                    Good info in here.

                    I've heard you can actually splice the fluxers within the MR to accept stock e30 management. You just need to hyper plate the connection afterwards, otherwise you'll toast the board.

                      HA! yeah, if you want to run an 3.5 cylinders! the JB weld is not enough to hold back the compressed hydrogen flowing through the wobble shaft. IT WONT WOBBLE!

                      god damn

                            Sweet, just make sure they thrown in a hooplator valve and a muffler bearing. I want this install to be clean!

                              /\ Well what I did was I bought an e36 m3 and then swaped an e30 325is body on top of it. After that I converted it back to 4-lug then e30-m3 5 lug. But my hooplator valve got bent some how.
