    Maybe you are spending more and being more thorough, but I think $3000 is a very reasonable price for an M30 swap. And it can certainly be done for less: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=171151

      You can find m30 motors in junkyards for $2-300 dollars, all day every day. The only expensive part is a transmission, but you can always use a G240. Motor mount arms have come down in price too, now that there are multiple vendors. I think I did my entire m30 swap for around $1000 back in '10.

      Put another way, it was cheaper for us to swap in an m30 than it was to constantly replace exploding m20s in our LeMons/ChumpCar e30. Even the judges agreed.

                well, hell, the e46 guibo says Germany all over it.
                And looks like crap, too.

                Maybe it's time to weld it solid...

                  I tried that same argument when I swapped a 13b in place of a 12a in my teams RX7.. they didn't bite.

                  Course it didn't help the tech (douche) was a rotary guy and his team was running a cheaty 3rd gen.
