Hi

My M20 2.5 is starting to get tired, and was thinking of a engine swap.

My question is any recomendations on who can do the whole M52 conversion for me and how much it would set me back??

Cheers Kam

Give me a call if youre interested me and my mate have done 4 E21 M52 conversions now for ourselves and E21 owners forum members E30s are just an easier conversion to do with less custom parts. Can provide testimonials and build threads/pics so you can see the level of workmanship etc

Call me on 0781 869 3745 if you want for a chat about your requirements I'll be at the unit all day anyway as I'm converting another E21 at the moment but reception isn't fantastic so leave a message if you can't get through.

Glad to hear it, I think we'll have quite a few decent motors back on the road for next year you know. We need to have a meet up or track day and see how they all compare. :D

We can either supply all parts or you can supply them and we install them, price would be dependent on this of course.

Hi everyone, i can't give a figure as easy as that i need to discuss the full requirement with you in detail and understand what you want from the conversion. We can offer welding and painting (old BMWs do love to rust) cam installation, ecu chips and remaps, custom alloy parts like radiators, catch tanks, modified sumps etc, M50 manifolds, lightened flywheels, performance clutches etc the options are pretty endless so we much prefer to discuss your exact requirements and understand what you can and can't provide parts wise as the conversions need a fair few parts to work.

Fell free to give me a ring and we can talk about what you want doing and i can produce you a quotation.

Regards

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
