Would an F20C fit into an E30?

There was one in a 2002 at socal vintage.

Sick, MikeK and his GF are in that video. I'll just ask him how easy the swap is.

That hood fits about as good as a Eurostop/DTM-Fiberwekz/Ary hood does. (or any of their panels really)

I'm aware of about 4-5 other '02 running them. The guys next door did another one last week.

That hood situation does not look promising. F20 and that 6 speed would be tits in a 318 or something though. Get out your hood scoopin' gloves fredk.

I would do this swap anyday in my 318 over a 24v swap. But I'm overly biased towards 4 bangers in e30s.

Guy up here in the PNW had one in a 2002. Was pretty sweet. He had the instrument cluster swapped in as well (you might have to have the cluster to get the engine to run IDK)

Best part. The tall-boy of Asahi for the overflow bottle. with aeroquip type hose-ends. win.

How does it not fit with the hood? The top of it sits way below the hoodline. Or are you guys talking about the e36? Who cares about e36.

[dnick]

fitment aside. Its cool, but damn it, when that e36 passed it sounded so wrong.

[Kershaw]

if i ever owned an m3 and the s14 was on it's last legs, this is the swap i'd do. apparently the flow characteristics between the 2 engine heads is very similar.

i've been dreaming about an f20c swap into an e30 for years.

That would probably be the easiest way. I wonder what it would take to integrate the s2000 push start.

Agree, perfect if you must stay 4cyl....just as good if not better than the s14 .
