e30 m3’s are awesome, but I would never want one with the stock motor. Amazing engine, but not good on the wallet. Give me an e30m3 with the 95 M3 engine. ---

Weak 😉 S54 or bust. I’ve dont the research, it’s certainly possible and becoming financially probable that someone will do it. ---

Give me an e30m3 with the 95 M3 engine. i, along with 99% of all other M owners would shoot you for discracing such a wonderful car. and seeing that E30 all muddy and rally racing brings a tear to my eye. i hate to see an E30 beaten. ---

I would love a 2.5 e30m3 but it’s much more plausable to find an e30m3 with a blown motor, as s14s blow a lot and an s50/s52 is a lot cheaper than a 2.5 s14. like 6 grand cheaper. lol ---

E30 owners are a finantical bunch, they scare me for the most part, which is why I stay off of all the forums cept bf.c OT. Btw, all said and done, if you spend the time and look for the right stuff you can do an S54 swap for under 10k. ---
