Feeling flush?!
Just getting the engine in is 6k DIY.. Then turbo kits are 5k..
Do you actually know much about the S50 lump or just throwing tuning words about?

Jesus !!, 6K for DIY converssion, i didnt realise it was that kind of cost
like i said before i m new to the BMW world but have always wanted to do this converssion as i love the E30
could you breakdown the costing for me ?,
i though it would just be a case of get a 3.2 donor for around 3or4K and swapping everything over, obviously there will be mods that i will have to do on the running ger and drive train and most prob some chassis alterations
any more info would be much appriciated
cheers

It is difficult to breakdown the costing.. But it been done a fair few times on here now, and it always come out around the 6k mark, and that is DIY..
You would be looking at about £8-10k for someone to do it for you and supply

bigpimpin , also from aberdeen, could be worth getting in touch with as he did this conversion. but the £6G price tag id say is a conservative estimate......

As Fuzzy has already said
Why not drop Sandy(bigpimpin) a PM
He's done the conversion already and could advise accordingly
