I get it but for fucks sake you can buy an s54 for half the price or just buy a euro e36 m3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 As the old saying goes, there's an ass for every seat. It'd be cool to see this find it's way into an e30. I'm sure you know what euro spec e36's sell for here in the states. Anything decent is well over $20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen how much e36 m3's sell for in europe? It's insane. They're not cheap like ours lol. Clean e36 non m coupes are starting to fetch some big money over there now too.

Clean e36 non m coupes are starting to fetch some big money over there now too. I have. Ebay.uk has quite a few for less than $10k which is around the same price as nice e36's are selling right now over here. Evo models are over $10k.

B C Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 What a perfect combo BUT, for that price I would expect a nicer drivers seat, a clean engine bay, and better photos in the ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Idk 8k is cheap for an s50b32 swap compared to what they have been in the past. You'd be pressed to find one for that price without a trans usually. Not to mention they claim it only has around 42,000 miles on it. That thing is basically brand new lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 There's a reason remote mount turbo's aren't more prevalent. It's a decent looking car but that's such a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FieroSS Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Worst case scenario you ditch the turbo and you're left with a 6-speed 540 touring which never came to the States. But i would leave it alone for a while just to see what its like haha. -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 We need a remote mounted supercharger. Connect it to a drive wheel, that way the boost is linear in relation to speed and the faster you go the faster you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it bleed off excess pressure until you hit 60 or 70 then shut off the fuel and run on pure compressed air for as long as you want to go. Infinity mpg! Newton is skeptical.

patsbimmer1 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 OR we run a remote mount electric supercharger that builds boost based on input from the crank sensor. Perfect boost at all RPM's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I do have a fantasy involving a CVT transmission on a supercharger though for variable boost/drag control m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
