E30 Zone

hello ive just bought a e36 m3 (please bare with me)

i have always wanted a e30 with m3 engine and running gear so i bought a complete car which is my daily driver at the mo

great car by the way love everything about it but its not my plan to keep it this way

i want to drop the ........
engine
box
loom
diff
5 stud

i have a good e30 lined up so what is needed apart from the 2 complete running cars i already have

Have a search around in the Engine Swaps/Forced induction section as this conversion has been done by a few.

Also have a look on www.e3024v.com

It ain't cheap to do, even after having a complete donor car to claw some cash back with. Most that have done it at home still end up spending £5K+ doing this swap.

To help you with searching, the engine in your E36 M3 is a S50B30 if the car is the 3 litre version and S50 B32 if it is the Evo.

for 5 stud you ideally want evo front struts and hubs I think and compact rear trailing arms.
Plenty of info about on it all.

p.s, s50 into e30's is not cheap!

thanks guys
not really bothered about the cost
would love to have one so think im just gonna do it

in honesty you'd be better buying some e30 M3 suspension. I think Karan had some for sale on here not long ago
