There is a lot more if you search, but this will keep you busy for a little while.

I am about sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to use the right terms to get it to show up under search...

SO...
pros and cons of S50 Vs M30 swaps...

this is what I have...
87 Cabrio...auto, that's the first to go..5 speed then
for the M30, I have a M30B34 already, I have a S38B38 90mm crank to stroke it with, I have everything for the M30 now, but I would throw on a B35 head and a cam...

so do I use what I got and go stroked M30, which from a friend who is an engineer who works for BMW, has calculated that is could put out 300hp/tq squared....

but how do you clear the steering rack, especially if I upgrade to z3/m3 rack....

How much heavier is the M30 vs M20 vs S50/S52?

Which is easier to wire and I am keeping ac and all the extras...

The S50/S52 is more eye candy that is for sure...

Thanks and sorry for the repeat question post....

there is some really nicely done projects here, Kudos to all...

Maybe you should have put this in the proper section, maybe m30, maybe 24v, but not Members Rides > The Project Forum

No a mod will have too.

Right section posting = getting answers

Wrong section posting = getting flamed
