WOW!! That thing is gorgeous/sick. I know that thing hauls *** with the m3 engine in there. Those seats are incredible too! You should debadge it and swap out the logo for black ones. How much did you pay for it?

I'm not sure how this compares to the e30 weight, but my friend has a m3 engine in his e30 coupe, highly modified, and it blows the doors off most cars on the road. Drock, what do you think the car would run 1/4 time?

I want to steal your motor.

I have an OBD1 E36 that will be getting the same treatment once I'm out of college I can't imagine how high it revs with the 3.73, though...

Not a fan of the 318i...for any other 318i I would have some smack to talk but yours is nicely modded (engine swap is sick) and those seats are SEX

I was gonna hate on the 318POS but once I saw the M under the hood, I calmed down a whole lot! Congrats on the car - post a speedo acceleration video if you can!

The S50 only came in the '95 M3. '96-'99 M3's came with the S52 since they switched to OBD2. Since your car has the S50 Intake manifold, I'm guessing it's an S50 which means your engine came from a '95 M3. However, most people swap the S50/M50 manifold onto the newer S52/M52 engines, so it's possible you have the S52, too.

Just thought I'd clear things up.

looks great, though IMO you should raise it up an inch or so. Track BMWs aren't slammed that low (for obvious handling geometry reasons) and the extra-lowness gives a ricey look to a car that otherwise looks absolutely excellent!

already taking care of that, the owners before the guy that sold it to me bought s tec springs and cut them! so the guy i bought it from had some h&r race springs that he gave me.

No, double vanos wasn't introduced until the E46. I think the Euro E36 S52 had double vanos, but don't quote me on it....

Point is, I think you have an S50, which came from a '95 M3.
