The best shop for building an S/M50 wire harness into an E30 is AutoFab Motorsports. Thomas's racecar has an M50 in it, and runs fantastic.

Autofab is the only shop i would go to for BMW ;)

Sorry I havnt been through the thread but if you end up going through with the swap look me up and PM me. Id love to see my Jetta VR6 swap vs your E30 S50 swap. that seems to be a great euro match up

you mean like you personally did it or you had a shop? you think its fast enough to run with 300 hp cars?

Nothing crazy Im just doing exhaust/intake/chip on the VR6 which puts out 177 hp stock. Im also thinking of going with a small dry shot also but that would be a lil further down the line.

Guys with stock VR6 motors in mk2s usually do the 1/4 mile in low to mid 14s and trap around 100 for an idea how quick they are

Me and my bro work on our cars ....Do you mean 300 to the wheels or crank ???
I have pics of when we did the swap if you give me your email i can send them to you ....

[live~sideway]

really im just looking for around 300 or 400 tops. this is going to be a track car very soon mainly twisties some drift and rarely drag

[Dominic49]

hit me up when you figure out the swap... i'm down for getting dirty... and since your gonna have the motor out you should go with the e36m3 sterring rack...

[live~sideway]

yeah man im not to sure what swap im doing yet autofab wants me to do a m50 swap but i like to go for the s50 s52 swap but those engines cost alot more. and im not sure wether im going to tackle it myself or give it to them. plus im calling up mainstream to see what turbo dave thinks i should do even though it will probably be a 2jz.

ill definatly hit you up. id run right now with the stock engine. all i have is a intake, plug wires and msd coil and a little gutting. the only probably is ive got a massive exausht leak so i need new exausht but i dont want to waste the money if im getting a swap.
