If it's a non m3 model I fully support it. But people can do whatever they want to their cars, that's my take on this.

I think whatever increases the longevity and life of the m3 platform. I imagine m3 engines are way harder to support and sustain than k series sapped e30s

The 325i had the m20b25 which is a 2.5 inline six and can reach over 450 when turbocharged and they are very commonly stroked to more liters. If you don’t want to do that then m50/m52 swap it and turbo it.

You could just turbo it 😎

One of these exact models auctioned for R1.5million a few months back in South Africa

The K series makes so much more sense. The engine is cheaper to buy and build, aftermarket support is way larger . Parts and maintenance cost over the years is better as well . If you ever owned a BMW you would know that the price tag that gets associated with those 3 letters is never reasonable.

People can do what they like, I believe in that. I also think it's a bit crazy to yank the s14, because with some work, a base chassis can be upped to perform like an m3. THAT makes more sense than pulling a legends heart out. That being said, the shop I work in was commissioned to swap an s85 into a legit m3. Portions of the frame HAD to be chop and removed to accommodate, aaaaaaand it now has manual brakes; no room for a booster (customer didn't want to remote boost 🤔). Some people just don't care about "rules" and will do things just to rustle someone's Jimmy's. 😂 In that rebel spirit, I support it. But still hurts to see a thing that is regarded so highly be altered so much when the better option is right there; swap the base model! 😅

What about FI? also for as light weight as a car is 300s a lot of power

It's way to expensive for the kit. But totally worth it. Adding it up you'll make about the same power from a K24 as you would with an s52/50 swap. And honestly cost the same all said and done

Normal m3 e30 outside of the US where all around the 230hp

My stance is that i cant afford to do it

Going to pull my S14 motor out and put in a k24 DCT swap

Why everything has to be K-Swap?? You could had said S54, S52 or S50.

A k swap makes a lot more sense for people who want the performance in their day to day e30. for example I have a 325e which isn't even post facelift, so nobody really cares what I do with it, (not that it would hinder me if people did), but I don't feel bad doing dumb shit should it ever come to that

I see you used the clip from Nightride.

A lighter, higher revving, more efficient, and more powerful engine? Why would someone install one of those 😂

I think it's one of the only reasonable swaps, as the S14 is a 2L-2.5L high revving 4 cylinder. The k series is a 2L-2.5L high revving 4 cylinder platform. It would sound worse, but it would be a better driving experience outside of the high rpms. But overall it is a LOT cheaper than an S14, and it still preserves the nature of the E30 M3.

The m42 serves up a decent experience, too. But those are getting harder to find and it badge swap doesn't bother one, the K is better bang for the buck and wayyyyy more plentiful and powerful.

As of 2023, bmw has one of the most reliable i6 engines on the market, and people are still recommending garbage foreign bullshit to be put in their most prized cars.

idgaf but I bought a BMW for it to sound like a BMW

Why would you buy another car than a E30? Espacially if you want more power? I dont get it. I put a S54b32 in mine put the top suspension out there and its as much fun as any 200 000$ Porsche ive driven..

K swap them all you want. I'll take all the s14s that you don't want off your hands for the price of the junkyard K series.

These cars are so expensive in India for literally no reason😢
