Welcome to E30.mit.edu
What's this all about? So the story is...my older cousin...David...is also an avid BMW
enthusiast...and has an E30...and I have an extra S54 engine...so it seems only
logical to team up to build a S54 E30...
$6000 for Euro S54 Engine + SMGII Transmission with 4K miles on the clock...We've
worked on the transplant for almost two months now...I've made sure to document
everything with a zillion pictures and a discussion over on E46Fanatics.com
