drop me a line. I can get the S54 ECU reflashed to run the engine WITH the fly by wire throttle in the E30

uwem3 il let him know you can do it and dips thats a good link but it doesnt give further information is there like a garage that would do the whole process?

i got into contact with munich motors, and they asked for approx £10,000 labour? is that suitable?

I had a figure of 10 -12 k from him as well. Can't remember with or without engine.

Pic up a S54 for lets say 4k with everthing you need leaves 6-8k labour.

conversion would be a drive in drive out and to the same standerd of work as the other two witch we built

If I was going to throw £10-12k at an e30 I'd want a lot more than an M3 engine under the lid. You'd have to really want to keep it BMW through and through to pay that kind of money in my opinion.

Is that price with the engine or without?

[MattTheHat325]

sorry to hi-jack but just a quick question, would this conversion entail similar work and cost if carried out in an e36 m3? just a query on behalf of a mate. Again sorry to hi-jack

[Kos]

not as involved, the cost is about 6-8k

[MattTheHat325]

thanks Kos

Can anybody answer me, these questions three... How much does the S54 weigh? What would it do for weight distribution ratio? How easy is it to turbo?
