Go M50 route Twiggy

Cheap as chips and completley transforms the E30.

I would love an M52 lump, but I would need to see it running before I hand any money over

If I was to do it again id get all the parts together before even thinking about touching the car. The hardest bit is looking for the right parts, waiting for them to come in etc.

The whole conversion can be done in a few weekends if you know how to go about it

m52 is very restricted.. hardly the worst engine bmw made, my mum has one in her e46.. lightweight is a major bonus

i think you mistaken the engine in your mums car is a m54 double vanos.m52 is a single vanos and suffer with nikosil bore wear and unless you can get one with the modified block.i can supply one for 995.00 all in.

nope i think your mistaking the engine - m54 is iron block

definately an m52 in my mums
