And why is that? Looks exactly like M52.

i was referring to the m50/s50/2. they are the most popular swaps. but if you were to check the difference from an s52 and m52 then once again, the numbers.

The a scuffing while cosmetic is a concern for me but if the rubber is minty fresh then go for it.

Any of you ever deal with a Febi csb? Compared to the one I saw at my dealership, this one looks... Worn. But it's also 1/3rd the price and I'll never see it. Simple case of you get what you pay for?

Febi is a O.E. supplier along with ATE,Lemforder,Behr,Geba,Laso,Wahler,Textar,Pagid,T RW,BOSCH,Zimmerman,Balo,brembo and other brands made in german or other euro countrys.We use these parts dayin-dayout with no problems.

Not my ad and I don't even know if they're still available, so not putting the link in the parts for sale thread.

Every couple days for the last month I've looked these up and sighed longingly. One day, ladies. One day...

hey guys, Im looking at buying an e30 325i coupe 5spd, the owner says it runs strong, but i have noticed most of the cars for sale have had the motor rebuilt at 135k, this car is at 135k, do you think its due for a rebuild? is that a common thing? whats a rebuild going to consist of if it needs it? generally speaking of course. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Im getting ancy i want an e30!

best way to know is to go test drive it. if you have access to a friends known good running e30, or have tested multiple e30s then you can compare and see if it feels nice and strong. the great thing about e30s and generally all older bmw motors, they can run forever before needing anything major done to the engine. so, more than likely, you probably won't need a rebuild unless this guy has really thrashed it.

135k is very low mileage for a car that's rounding 25 years old. If the odometer is working and the Carfax doesn't say otherwise I'd say you found yourself a good car.

M20 engines can go 400k easily. It's all about maintenance. Not likely the car needs a rebuild.

Anyone here go to Cal-Poly Pomona? Thinking about going back to school for my Masters and from what I've heard they have a great Mechanical Engineering program. Looking for what people that go to the school have to say about it, because the school I have my Associates and Bachelors from has great reviews but I hated it.
