    Shop near seattle that has done m/s5x swaps?

    I would do it but I don't have access to a garage anymore and I am pretty sure the city of Seattle would oppose doing it on the street. Also, what are the prices shops/people charge to do one? I have the opportunity to pick an s52 swap out of an e30, so it should be pretty straight forward. Thanks in advance!

    West Werks Motorsport in Redmond has a lot of experience with m/s5x swaps. His swaps are usually pretty clean.

    Ask for Francis, tell him Tom sent you.

              ^I was waiting for you to see that, I have no experience with him so I thought I'd wait for you to post.

                  It's your choice honestly. His work is pretty on the edge of sub par from everything I've seen.

                      What's a reasonable price for a basic swap? This is assuming most of the customization has already been done... e34 pan installed, wiring complete, etc.

                          I originally purchased my e30s50 from him (greg) and had no problems, it’s my daily driver and I make regular trips to East Wa.
                          I have had the car for over a year now, and love it 

                          BUT…I can say that I have tried to contact him to work on it numerous times and he has never been available.

                          It’s unfortunate because I want someone that is close (location) to me and is knowable of the vehicle. But I def will check out West Werks Motorsport if needed, I have a pretty noisy vanos :(
                          The greatest honor an e36 could ever have... to be parted out and have its parts used in an e30.

                          The difference between a porcupine and BMW’s. BMW’s have the pricks inside.

                            Greg's a flake, but he is selling a m52 swapped e30 right now on the puget sound CCA forums. Nobody has called him out yet, but he's clearly not advertising it here or on bimmerforums for a reason.

                              Subscribed. I want to know how much WestWerks charge for a swap.


                              Also call Carlo @ TCMotorsports and ask him for a quote. Tell him Christian sent you he might give you a deal. Really nice guy and knows alot about E30's having a few Pro 3 cars.
