large tank e30's (with transfer tube and single in tank pump) drain plug on the passenger side. takes an allen. do not take off the transfer tube (below the driveshaft) as it will most likely crimp the tube.
small tank e30's (dual pumps in tank ...one on each side) should be on the same side.
windy city bmwcca held an event like this..... maybe 10 years ago. It was up here in wisconsin.... somewhere. glaze ice, but loads of fun.
Your car looks awesome in those pictures just sitting there. BUT...... it looked even better coming over the hill into turn 5. Nice work. Drive on!
cheers, jason
I'm in. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Bringing the ol e30m. See you guys out there!
Jason.
Thanks.
Wasn't me. I took the m for the maiden voyage to work.
You won't be the only V8 E30 rolling around. My buddy just parted out his 2.7i turbo build, and is putting in a boosted iron block LsX motor. :3 Should be a good time.
well, that should make 4 of us then.
boosted..... wow. i thought traction was an issue already!
finally brought the m home. if you see me puttsing around, give a wave. cheers, jason
I'm confused. Are you boosting the s52b32 (us spec) or the s50b32 (euro)?
It should be comming home in a week or two. Feel free to wave me down. J
oops..... not trying to say you were alone.
i was just stating that i am not the only v8 e30 here. there will be 3 v8 e30's in wisconsin. thats all.
cheers, jason

welcome to the forums. i remember when I got my first e30 you were one of the few if the only guy in Wisconsin doing e30 motor swaps.
Aaah yes. The good ol days of my first swap. I think that was 8-9 years ago. You had the black 87is. Back when life was simple.
WOW, I was just marveling at the beautiful restoration of that M3, then I see it has an S54......THEN the S54 gets tossed for a V8
just incredible!
The s54 and ls2 are about as opposite as you can imagine. In every aspect! I tripled my available torque at 3k rpm.
Welcome! Awesome project car!
Care to share any details on the 6.0L V8 transplant? I love project cars that have interesting swaps like that!

Bone stock ls2. Little engine bay, meet big shoe horn.
