yes, i already have a plan for one, now all i need to do is hit the lotto
hahaha
im going to use a m60 obd1 though, it will be alot easier due to exhaust and such. __________________

it might be possible, but it will sure be a PITA if you don't have the complete harness like that one | | | | | 03-07-2009, 01:48 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |

agreed, unless you have money, your own shop, and lots of knowledge about bmws, dont do it. __________________

Its the fact that youre putting in a huge paperweight that produces what you can get from a lighter, more efficient engine, that will cost near the same for the installation of parts and outcome of power and torque. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

Yea S54 would be a way better project if you wanted to waste lots of time. Or do a blown S52 which is easy as hell compared to that. | | | | | 03-07-2009, 06:58 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 |
anything can be done with the right tools, time, and money. __________________

The center of gravity in the engine is so high it WILL kill the balance of your car.
You could do a LSx swap cheaper and make far more power. Or even a turbo M50 for that matter. | | | | | 03-13-2009, 07:54 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,233 |
