My buddy Tristan bought this car! Went for a spin the other day had my ass grinning from ear to ear. Good job guys

Best BMW content on KZfaq by far. These guys are awesome people. Thank you for all the content.

Those little details you mention are actually the cherries worth picking in these videos, thanks for mentioning them! The details become more useful when you are closer to install.

ALMOST done with my s52 swap. Legit can't wait to drive it. Watching this made me even more impatient.

"Vibration dampening brake reservoir" LOL , you guys need to start selling a kit hahah

Thanks for putting this together boss. Put my e30 s52 swap on pause about two years ago and recently found / gathered up all the parts I had for it cause I need a new lil town car and yall going into detail about everything was super helpful. If it all goes to plan I'll be doing some dry rot skids by this weekend.

Great 1 watched from start to finish... so much for 1 day swap bt I learned alot

I love e30's and owning one is the best.

My e30 is an 88 rust free, hoping to redo the interior soon

I was watching all this just to see how do you solve the cooling system in e30. AND NOW 40 minutes passed and I found out the cooling system is not working yet and temperature gauge is not connected. Nice!

Will @ 40:45 since I don't have a temp guage I don't wanna overheat this thing Also Will......proceeds to smash its face in again 😂😂😂😂 Class vid lads, hope you're all OK with all this madness going on at atm 😎

Dang it sounds so good 👍 you guys want to make me want to swap my E30. Nice job on the swap and all the swap info! Thanks for the content!

Love seeing these videos. I’m in the middle of parting out a friend’s e39 to fund a turbo m20 build. Just picked up my 2nd e30 and have been dying to start building her. These videos keep me sane in the meantime until I’m able to start building. Love what ya’ll do!

38:50 Words: “It’s gonna be a good running car”. Face: “😬😟”. How all us enthusiasts talk, then immediately look after we’re done with a build and it’s alive. The “We’ll see, but I’m proud of it face”. Well done though mates, can’t wait to see more footage. 👍 and Subscribed!

Wow, this is the best video explaining the swap. It's making me itchy to do a swap sooner than later.

doing an m50 swap on my e30 right now and I went with an e90 booster and a 2002 brake reservoir and it fits great

BOTH ARE GREAT THE WORK LOOKS GOOD. WHY WOULD PEOPLE HAVE A BAD OPINION WHEN THEY AREN'T DOING IT THEMSELFS.

Great Vlog, me and my dad put an e36 engine in my e30 last week, cant believe how easy it was.

Your videos are helpful. I have a 1985 325e it cranks and runs for about 3 secs and cuts off. I’ve replaced both fuel pumps and fuel filter, distributor cap and rotor button and coil. I’ve also replaced fuel pump relay fuse.

Another thing that helps the bleeding process immensely in these cars is to drill a small bleed hole in the t-stat. Drilling a bleed hole has no adverse effects. Eventhough the expansion tank is the highest point in the system, and should technically self-bleed, sticking the front end on ramps or a high floor jack can make a stubborn one bleed out like nothing. Just a couple tips for someone who may be having trouble bleeding they're cooling system.

Also the e34 booster looks weirdly similar to the e60 booster that I'm using for the swap. Had to shave the m50 mani and relocate the res.

you guys will fit right in Cape Town South Africa . well done

Murica finally hoping on the BMW hype train this is good good progress

I owned 1990 E30 318i and it was sweetest car that I owned.It was little snake on the road.Too bad I didn't keeped.

The trick is to use a mk2 golf/rabbit booster

Do a run down on the e36 turbo build and setup please

"Anybody wanna buy my e30 m3" 5 min later "i drive the piss outa that car i have no mercy on that car"😂😂

This is Great! Love seeing e30 content

Nice work, just came across your channel on recommended. Subscribed 👍🏻

I love watching will play with boosters

BRO LISTENING TO BOTH IS LIKE HEARING A 1VS1.

Hey, just wondering. Is that the harbor freight 1000 pound hydraulic cart?

I’m doing a S52 swap into my E30 as well and I just wanna say thank you your video was very helpful. I have run into some problems however, what Motor mounts are you using? I’m wondering if the E34 mounts will work. Also, what intake did you use, was it an E34 intake? Thank you!

Good work on the swap. Only thing I really see that it could use from where I'm sitting is an m50 manifold. E30's are such a timeless car, both in driving experience and in looks. The US versions of the m5x are definitely readily available and are getting cheaper. If I ever pick up another e30 I'm going non-vanos m50 with a hx35 slapped on it, on the cheap. A good amount of people have thrown a set of ARP's and a Cometic and made a reliable ~400 whp. Not too shabby in an e30 chassis. Especially the fact that the non-vanos m50's can be had complete for a couple hundred bucks. Hell, you can grab a whole '91 or '92 build e34 for next to nothing, and get the whole n.v. m50, (correct oil pan already mounted,) trans, accessories, etc. The n.v. m50 has forged internals, and no worries for vanos issues when it comes to tuning so if you're boosting it, it just simplifies things. Its definitely been done and proven plenty of times. I built 3 or 4 of them for customers from the ground up and they do the trick well, especially for a budget minded person who doesn't have an unlimited amount of money to spend. Keep doin what ur doin fellas!!! E30

6PK1400 I am interested! Thanks!

I bought a perfect 1989 e30 and a 1999 e36 m3 for the motor and some parts but now I think this project is way beyond my ability so I’m just going to get the 52 motor into the e30 and sell it as is

We can do 4 door swappy boi things at the racetrack together now!

M52TUB25 has a dipstick drain back pipe on it. If ya had one out back... Maybe not the right diameter but maybe. Enjoy watching all your videos as a fellow older BMW enthusiast/cobbler. I'm baked and for some reason I thought I'd share.

I have a 89 BMW 535i that I wanna turbo I’m in Denver and would love to see your build

That sounds so nice

Just saw this… u guys still around? Plan on doing this same swap!!

Dude in the Red hoodie is Smart, just I don't understand anything he said. I know nothing about cars....... New 87 325i owner!!!!!

You are using a 318i, is the trans going to hold all that power, especially the diff which is the smallest in BMW? Hopefully one day, we can see you doing a euro S50 swap. Those engines are not expensive, brought one before for like 2 grands. So, how much is the damages in total. It will be really cool if you can list them out. Keep it up!

The slippeur is the mode in france

Pazi88 would be proud

سلام شغل مرتب بس ممكن شرح مفصل لضفيره لجل بجلس نفس المكينه

Ever have an s52 have a weird vibration after doing a timing chain? The car runs great except a vibration in the mid range rpm like above 2500 to 4k. The mounts are new no i doubt it’s that.

Fackin yes!

I'd love to do a collab with my e30 and yall! glad I ran into you guys! #ColoradoGang

I debating on a s52 swap or building up the m20b27 in my (528e) to its max potential. which do you recommend? I'm looking for around 250hp and reliability. It will be driven hard on the weekends. 🤔🤔🤔 feedback is appreciated.

como lo prendieron la conexion , al quiero ponerle un v8 el m62b44 a un e36 , en el arnes que hacen para solo ponerlo del arranque

wow! subscribed right away!

exhaust sounds incredible! are yall just running the full stock e36 m3 exhaust or is there anything deleted/added? awesome vid as always, really got me itching to s52 swap my e30

Can you please make a video on that x5 4.6

Dont sell the e30m3!!! How much as a matter of interest?? They make 40-50 grand in ireland. Id love to swap my e30 engine to an e36m3 but they are impossible to find here.

Awesome vid.

Hey what about the left mouth ear . 4 hole is fix with rivets or background downone is empty ?

thank you for this!

Was wondering, which is easier to e30 swap - S52 or S54? I have one of each . . . and a red 325is . . .

This video made me get an e30 the next day. DBO do a m20 turbo video !!

Be cool to hang out for day there, im sure would learn a lot of information

What brand coolant was that 😂

this engine deserves a better E30

amazing

The adapters are not the best. Repinning the c101 plug is a lot easier imo

Hi, What brand and model is that electric tester that was used on the starter?

"entire everything" 😂

Any help finding wiring diagram once you click the link? Will it be the same for a uk car? Thanks

Im stuck on Cleeeeeeeeevissssssssss lol

Said sell the e30 m3....

So underrated man

That's no Project Binky but 3 days not 3 years

What exhaust was used

All E32 boosters are the same or is this specifically from a 740 or 750?

Exemple une e30 325 i en France vos dans les 15 mil eu mais en amerique a combien on trouve des modele e30

i came here to help me figure out reinstalling my harness sad to discover it was fast forwaded through.

Im asking for that paper photo please the one you are using to do the wiring

Did you have to get the ecu reflashed to get the car to run?

So when using e34 brake booster then only mod is changing the master cylinder and using an e32 one?

Hi! What could happen if u dont put a gasket on the oil pick up tube ? Thx great videos

What exhaust did you use My s52 swap seems like it’s going to hit the chassis

In France the cars is thé slippeur one cars qui paye pas de mine mais qui envoie

good job guys...i wanna swap my m52b20 with m54b30 and my big concern is how am i gonna make it start... :) now i know i need to connect the pins in numbers not colours to be 100% sure...and double check with multimeter...thanks....now im doin brakes swap on e36 318i with e46 330d brakes...its magic to make the handbrake work like stock...you can ask why i need stock e brake...the answer is simple...techno test for it to be road legal with the m54 engine (this engine is running on the other car) ive made handbrake pads from two sets..one from 318i and one from 330d..today well see if its working but i think it will ;)

Great job bud. Quick question....did you delete the EWS from that S52 harness? If so, you input on how it's done will be helpful and appreciated. I do M50/M52 swaps on E30s but use aftermarket ECUs but i prefer using the OEM ECU and harness.
