Time to take the BMW E30 build serious and no better way to do that than to introduce a highly capable engine swap for the car. The goal is to drive my 1989 BMW 325is for the first time, which is well overdue, considering I've owned it for almost 2 years! It's time kick it up a notch, dedicate some time into this iconic chassis and enjoy every inch of progress! With all your support, we will transform this car into an absolute monster!

That's because I good amount of his subs are young "n54 is the new 2jz" fan boys. He built his channel on modding his 335i vert. Since you can now buy those shitboxes for less than most e30s it only makes it worse.

Always good to see an e30 saved. You don't need to delete the brake booster one from an e21 should fit and clear the intake. Speaking of, use an s50/m50 intake and fuel rail, much better airflow than the narrow obd2 version on the s52/m52.

So happy you weren’t throwing an LS in an e30. BMW is known for their inline engines let’s keep it that way. I’m a fan of the LS…when it’s in a corvette or a Camaro. I’m a fan of engine swaps I just don’t think they look right IMO. Sleepers are cool just not my taste. I saw an old Honda hatch out here with an LS in it which was cool and damn fast. But that big block V8 sound should not be coming out of a Honda 💀 I’d much rather see a turbo b20 engine in a Honda than an LS. That’s just my opinion you could agree or disagree 🤙🏾

Tell me about it the gm ls engine is to damn over-rated and easier to break down when redlined, compared to, the original inline-six cycle, engines that come, already with descent enough of, power to do the all around, job sprint or turning the wheels side, ways. Litterally i love the fact that bmw engines got best in the e36 series.
