[old skoo]

Hey what's up people ? I'm planing on doin a s54 m3 swap in my e30 and I was wondering, what needs to be done in order to complete the swap ? Any1 have any ideas ?

You need to buy said engine and install it into an e30. Sounds pretty simple.

Dat make cents 4 u guy?

Ohhh about 100hp...

And about 5 times the price. And 5 times the work.

Pretty simple swapz. just drop in the engine into the desired vehicle and go!

its not that bad as long as you run standalone... nvm i take it back

Make sure you use the washer fluid that came standard on 03/2001 build Z8s. Once you got that down, the swap completes itself.

don't forget that the upper cover for the vanos must be converted.

here this might help.

good luck.

just take it. and go

I heard you use a M10 Hotwire maf and it only bolts to the M20 sport auto tranny. Other then that it's wires up just like M50 swap.
