    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.

                  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)

                        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.

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

                            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 .
