1992-1995=325I/IS=M50B25=2.5L 1996-1999=328I/IS=M52B28=2.8L 1995 M3=S50B30US=3.0L 1996-1999 M3=S52B32=3.2L (3.15, actually) None of those motors are ‘rare’ by any means, why are you looking for a 3.0? The M52 can be made just as fast as an S50 and for much cheaper. M52+S52 cams+OBD1 intake mani=200+whp easy ---

actually came across this one bc I am doing a motor swap with my m3 motor . . . thought this was fairly clean and some decent mods… could use newer seats (which you can get for a few hundred dollars like $400-500) [http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1096124](http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1096124) ---
