Engine swap in the bay area?

[888]

Hi. New here, my dinan m3/4 was just totaled and I was able to get my hands on a clean 91 318i. I still have my s52 so im wondering if any of you guys knew of a place that could get the swap done and for how much. I would try and learn to do this myself but I dont have any time with work and what not. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance

Typical price you will find is ~3k just for the labor if you have ALL the parts.

Agree with the recommendations.

What's the process (and cost) to get the thing BAR'd?

[graphikg]

I know edge will charge 3k just for labor.

3k just for labor? i thought it was 1800!

would labor on another swap be less expensive? m30?

[graphikg]

probably. 1800, no way.

[Rodoni]

ya def not 1800...3k sounds about right.

as for other motor swaps, i dont think youre gonna get too much cheaper. most of the work is still required.

I Second this highly
I was an apprentice to JP Cadoux, you should see his work.

s14 Evo 2002s
strocker m20 turbos,
the whole shabang!

Edit:

After checking out JP,
Look up Bill Arnold BMW in San Rafael (down the street from JP)
he owns an s52 cabrio, his co-workers own m50 swapped e30s, and he has done too many s50 swaps you can count. he knows the swap inside and out.
