Who else have gods true chariot, an E30, on the forums? I know myself, Beach Bum, Party Alarm, Moxie Alarm, aventari....


I made the mistake of selling my old euro 325ix for peanuts when I was sure the ECU was dead. I miss that car, nothing has ever been as fun to drive in the snow.

I keep trying to find a solid e30 to daily, but such a thing doesn't really exist anymore around here.

I'd go from a 330lb motor to a 450lb one :/

Is your m52 aluminium block? The m60 is lighter than the iron block 24v motors.

Personally I'd stick with the m52. I know 2 guys who started e30 m60 swaps. One gave up and the other one is still gathering parts. There is a lot more crap to deal with for BMW v8 swaps. Brake booster, subframe and exhaust clearance to steering rack are a few I'm aware of. All the 24v stuff is so well documented and painless. M60s are giant fuckoff motors that don't really fit well.

It's not often you can get e30m3 stuff, but is that really worth like 2k on top of e30 non-M GC suspension? I'm not super knowledgeable about the m3 stuff, only thing I know is that it's 5-lug.
