@@cesarxmbert thank you man!

Congrats! That is a really clean install! $1500 car was great to begin with! I am a bit surprised how good it looks cosmetically but sedans hold up better than coupes. My swap is complete and I am simply working out the growing pains for track duty. So far so good. The biggest worry I had was oil temps. They are high on track in the pan but after the cooler they are fine if you are running really good oil. I am using an analog gauge to get those. I also run no thermostat in the car, just a failure point.

Nice video, Would love to hear it from the outside!

Some great info , S54 is a fun more powerful motor , high revving and fits the character of the car. I weighed my e36 with S52 at the time on corner scales and it was ~3150 pounds ( NO AC compressor and little gas ) I have seen a few e30's or even e30 M3 with that engine swap and they move. Doing the swap in California requires some extra effort with emissions and cluster wiring.

you need to get yourself some sedan poverty specs ones. mine is 2600lbs empty on the papers maybe 2750lbs full. 4 cylinder, no sunroof, no electric windows in rear, no traction control, no A/C.... it weighs 60kg more than my e30. even once i swap and cage it should be around 2500lbs after weight reduction

Any worthwhile turbo build that will be reliable and make over 350hp will be around 10k. S54 may be close but at the end of the day its still stock, turbo is a fair bit more complicated

You don’t go S54 for power numbers. I don’t care if a turbo setup can make 2x as much power as an S54. It won’t feel as special. Nothing beats the induction sound at 8000rpm.

If my N51 blows (which is unlikely) I want to do this swap, or build an N51 3.2 stroker and do a slightly more modern day E46 M3.

Would like to see acceleration timings

Nice

I owned an S52 and S50B32 BMW Z3M. The difference is insane and if the E36 M3 Euro had a better diff ratio, I reckon it would murder the USDM M3 further. S50B32 vs S54 though, the tuning potential on the S54 is insane.

Engine bay looks stock. I'm working on my E36 M3 interior, trying to keep it as original as possible. It's not all about 0-60. Handling,engine noise better then s a radio.

Can we use E92 DCT combined alongside together with S54 in E36?
