    M3 Update with S50-32k miles!

    Santa came early, I picked-up my car at Azevedo Motorsports Friday, the car is a blast to drive! Found an engine in CT, 1 owner 32k miles on engine/tranny.

    Defintely kicks a 2.5 conversion that purists do:) So torquey!
    Also added UUC L/F and M5 Clutch...less catalytic now as well, big straight pipes- the Borla exhaust is very deep now:)

    Cheers!

          as long as you enjoy it.
          I would never roll mine with anything other than the S14, even if it is slow, but very clean car nonetheless.

            yeah...

            my s14 isn't slow - i'd take the pepsi challenge against an s50 like that any day.

                Meh, my S50 with Schricks was faster than a Don Fields built 2.5 liter....

                  Thanks for the comments guys, next summer Schrick Cams, HFM, injectors upgrades...My s14 was shipped to TX to be transplanted into a 2002.

                  I loved the s14 but nothing kicks ass like more powerful M engine- so quiet and powerful:)

                  Night and day, been inside a 2.5 rebuild, ddin't do it for me:)

                  Total uprade less my motor, came out to $6g's-not bad

                      Idk, Don took me for ride in one of his built s14's, it was pretty impressive to say the least.

                        Maybe his personal cars are a little more "tweaked". Either that or you havent been in a S50/2 powered E30. I'm not saying I passed the car like it was standing still, but it was no big thing to pull on him down the straight at BIR.

                              The thing is you upset the balance of the car. Horsepower and torque is not everything. Then again, this debate will never end since it's all about how the car is setup and how you drive it. I saw a very interesting track video where an E30 M3 2.5L chased up a Corvette which had obviously much more power, you could see it storm out on the straights yet the M3 caught up and eventually passed him.

                              Btw, looks like a very clean swap. The car looks very clean aswell. Enjoy it!
