Hm, maybe if i would wear a nice dress and take pictures with all my parts i would get a 28 pg. thread too! But that might clash with my beard.

JK, nice to see actual progress being made.

Hey, you finaly got the mounts!! It was only, what, 3 weeks?

Ready to pop the M50 in now??

[Eric]

I want purple ones, they look well made though.



I think I am going AKG also, I have EVERY bushing replaced from them so far.

I have the AKG E30/S50 specific mounts, and my Euro S50 fits like a glove (besides the headers). I'd definitely recommend the AKG stuff.

[ZM Blue Devil]

AKg all day long.

We use the e36 shields, two of them like butterfly wings to protect them, works out great.

Hahaha, I know John. . . So how long has the car been sitting in John's garage?

And if you want it I have a medium case 3.73 open diff.

Good luck on the build.

But if using a ZF box 3.25S from an E28 is best IMO.

qft. i like the 3.25 even on a g260. its just a little too tall. to be honest ihavent gotten to test it out too much behind a g260.

Car looks great, let the grumpy haters polish their basketweaves and brag about having a complete tool kit and enjoy the car. You're going to be in the M power club soon anyways!

LOL, Really? I hope you aren't claiming "The M Power Club" with a US-spec S50/S52.

Alright M50 guy.

[Jand3rson]

Yep, it's an M50. You shut your whore mouth, Chris!

Some very nice looking bushings there, tho. That's a spendy handful!

Well... considering the engines power an M car, I would say they are allowed to claim "The M Power Club". You're such an elitist.

People are so easily butthurt. Not an elitist at all. Just raining cold hard facts up in here. The US-spec S5X-engines in the E36 M3 are not BMW M engines. Period.

And sorry, but that line of reasoning makes no sense at all.

People say things like "you're in the M Power club now", and I'M the elitist? LOL. I have Volkswagen seats in my car, for fuck's sake.

How? How are BMW M engines NOT BMW M engines? THAT makes no sense at all. You literally have no possible argument.

I never said you were a purist, I said you were an elitist. There is a difference.

[therichsta]

oh hai i just swapped an s52 into my e30 let's start an M power club! :D:D:D:D

First of all, I didn't say purist anywhere... LOL. I disputed being called an elitist.

How? How are BMW M engines NOT BMW M engines? THAT makes no sense at all. You literally have no possible argument.

The US-spec S50/S52 are NOT true BMW M engines. They were not developed by BMW Motorsport GmbH. They are worked-over versions of the M50/M52 with hotter cams and a few other differences. Same blocks, same heads, same manifolds. The Euro-spec S52 is a true BMW Motorsport-designed and built engine, sharing VERY little in common with the M50/52 that powers the E36/E34 3/5 series cars.

Now I never said there was anything wrong with a US S50/52. I was giving the guy shit because that statement just sounded a little bit ridiculous to me. If you REALLY want to keep arguing this with me though, go for it.

oh hai :D i just swapped an s52 into my e30 let's start an M Power club togethers!!!!!1
