    Immediately no boosting.

    Though I've been told M50 is the way to go if you wanted to boost.

    My thought is this, I'm not going to sell the m3 unless I can replace it with something atleast somewhat close to the badassedness as the m3.

    We'll see

      Then boost is necessary :)

      I would go with M50 purely for price reasons too, it'll give you more money to beef up the suspension/wheels/whatever else you'd wanna do.. in terms of performance, the s50 kinda sucks.

      Swap in a euro m3 motor!

        You can get an s54 for cheaper than the euro s50's.

            If I did it, it would be a very mild boost. I'd be building a DD.

                Very true. I know for a fact that just 6psi wakes up an s50:)

                  An s54 swap is NOT a weekend project.... An s54 takes a ton of fabrication. There are around five to ten running s54 swaps on r3v and bfc. And S52/S50 are totally different stories, those are weekend projects for sure if you have everything ready to go. 15 large does not seem bad for an s54 swap.

                          I got another email from VAC today stating with labor I'd be looking at $29,000 for the S54 swap. That's laughable.

                          Im not overly interested as it is, the S52 is a whole lot more reasonable and cheaper to mod (or fix) to boot!

                          What a joke.

                            Good god...

                            You could have a 750whp turbo'd S52, with fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, titanium Brembos, and a 50 cal mounted on the roof for less than $29k...

                            More realistically, an s52 + some mods (cams, etc..) + 6 speed would be epic, and again, feasible to get all that swapped in for less than $8k

                                  I'm shooting for 8K as my project budget. But there is a s54 on r3v for sale, guy lives in Milwaukee.

                                  Low miles, complete turn key into an e30 for 9k. Everything included to put in an e30!

                                  But I think that's a little expensive still. S52 is the way to go, few years from now it'll be the other way around.
