I INSTALLED THE ALUMINUM THROTTLE CABLE BUSHING WRONG!! It replaces the rubber piece that connects to the metal throttle cable bracket and not that plastic piece!! 😅
Just picked up an e30, already have an e36. Have a spare m50, so why not 😂.
Hey love to see M50 swaps, nice video man! you take some awesome shots! We've got a 6 part series explaining everything you need to know to swap an M50/M52 into an E30 for anyone looking for some more technical details.
This is going to be one badass e30🤤🤯
This will be an awesome build! Thank you for sharing the process ans explanations, I'm looking forward to a M50 Turbo Swap on my E30. Please continue posting the process.
Cheers from Costa Rica!
Beautiful build! I also happen to have a 86 coupe with a M50TU and ZF320 going in the next couple of weeks
Dude, when I first started watching I thought this is just going to be another boring, inexplicit, meaningless video because it kinda started out a little bit slow. Something told me to keep watching, though, and I am sure glad that I did. I think your video turned out amazing because you got straight to the point with concise explanations aided by great camera shots with good clear angles. I really enjoyed watching and I think that you deserve many more likes than the measly 93 that you have as of this writing. Way to go, keep up the good work.
Missed the channel so much
engine looks better without the cover. I think side exit exhaust would be cool and different on your car, i personally havent seen any side exit e30's
Hey man I'm looking to do this in my **minty** new 318i. Can you put the parts list that you used in the description or respond with a link? I know a few things, but since you did it and it works, I'd rather follow wherever you got your info from. Thanks brother. Keep on RWD'n hard!
Good shit brother, lovin the progress have been looking around to buy my own e30 very soon!
Thanks man! And do it! They're fun little cars and totally worth it
Have you had an e30 before?
Waiting to see how you do the wiring.
Bro just discovered your channel. Subbed. Deserve more subs though. Thinking of doing the same build and this is heaps good. Love your photography style too. Please keep it up.
Thank you brotha! Means alot man, I appreciate it!
M50b what? Also what gearbox is that? Nice build man!
M50B25 and it is a ZF310 or ZF320; forgot which. But thank you man!
Fist time viewer, heard about you from CarPassion. Love the content, subbed. Maybe we can meet up at Qualcomm sometime, I run with the SCCA
Thank you for checking out my channel man! That would be awesome; shoot me a message on instagram (@derkm) or on here sometime!
Nice work it’s that a early e30? What booster are you using?
Yup; 1986. And I'm running a modified brake booster from a 2002 I believe (got it in a package deal)
derkm I’m going a M50 swap in a 318i 84 I bought a complete e36 donor car.. but I been having a hard time finding a e34 oil pan... I’m going to use e28 motor mounts and hopefully I can slide the booster to use the stock one.. what it’s confusing also it’s the wiring since I have the square fuse plug...
Engine hoist on the driveway, that's some scary shit
Are you not planning on upgrading the Exhaust Manifold lad?
Wait till next episode ;)
With cover looks better, but that’s just me
So, what's the weight penalty for swapping these M50/M52's into these earlier 87-90 325i e30's? Doesn't that make the car nose heavy and take away from the handling? Yeah, sure you get more power but I can't imagine being nearly as flickable with a heavier motor? Then again maybe this is an inappropriate question if the car is being built for drifting?
I believe the M50 is about 20kg heavier than a M20, so yeah heavier but not that you would notice. Especially with a good suspension setup.
E30s come with m30b30 engines also of which the engine block is cast iron. My opinion is that the m30 is much heavier than this aluminium block
I like it more with the cover
True
Great series! What tran are you using?
Sten IJsseldijk Thank you!! I am running a ZF 320 transmission
Nice, gonna start my m50 e30 built in a couple of months but using a Getrag 260, that's why I was wondering. Keep up the work man, quality is on point and very detailed instructions 🤙
Thank you man I appreciate it! Good luck with the swap!
Can I use my stock 325e tranny on mine ?
I need help I need a sample for m20 I need to fit on my m52 enegine..the one on it right now can't fit cause its hitting hitting the crossmember
👍👍
Hey! I'm from Greece and me and my friend did the same swap as you. As we saw from many comments we purchased parts from e34 and the engine is in. But we have a problem with the power of the engine. We found all the cables and attached them but we can't find the cable that leads to the engine. What I mean is that everything in the car works except the engine. Can you please help us?
Did You Guys have to do anything with the brake booster ?
I used a brake booster from an e21 (or 2002 I forgot 😅) which is a drop in replacement and it fits with the m50 manifold and everything
Dont you need to use an oil pan, sump, and dipstick from a e34 m50 engine?
Yessir you do! Luckily, the motor I purchased came off an E30 that already had the motor swapped so the previous owner had already installed those pieces. I definitely should've been more clear about that in the video though!
Yes and change also poli amper to Bosh
Do you have the e21 brake booster in? I hear you have to have one if you’re swapping to an m50
Yes I do!! And there are alot of ways to deal with the brake booster. You can keep the stock one and just drill 4 new mounts holes in the firewall to move it over a little then modify the clevis a little, use a Porsche 944 brake booster, use an e30 ix brake booster and master cylinder, and a lot of other options!
cool thank you so much
Cool !!! I have m50 engine without transmission and need te replace my e30 m40 engine. But can u tell me some instruction to the other part like transmission, brake booster etc to replace. or can i still use m40 part? Xixi
Hey man! There are many transmission options and brake booster options. For transmission, im using an e36 m50 one (zf 320/310) but you can also use an e30 (getrag 260/240) i believe. With the getrag 260, you need to use a modified transmissiom crossmember but luckily Garagistic sells those. For brake booster, i used an e21 booster but you can also use an ix booster & ix master cylinder, slightly modified porsche 944 brake booster, e10 booster, or even drill new holes on the firewall to keep your stock booster. There are alot of options and they are pretty well documented online 😁
Thankyou very much.. its very helpfull... two more question, can i use driveshaft from e30 m40? And can i use the AC compressor from m50?
@@DwintaBiru no problem! And im actually not sure about those two things unfortunately
How much did the entire swap cost(excluding the engine)?
Did u use the stock transmission?
So I just started my e30 build series and I was wondering if I took the e36 trans could I use its driveshaft and rear end? I ask garagistic about it they didn’t really tell me much..
Ayy that's dope man! And I'm not too sure about the driveshaft but I use a 325e driveshaft for mine. And if you mean e36 diff by e36 rear end, I think you need to make some other modifications to make that part work. But I'm running a zf320 e36 trans with the stock e30 diff and 325e driveshaft with no problem 😁
derkm word! Thanks for the reply. Yur definitely an under rated TH-camr, keep it up bro!
Hi from which did you get the engine. Oil pan wise?
I used an oil pan from an M50 powered E34 525i 👍
Are that the original engine mounts?
Joschi They are the original e36 engine mount arms that came with the motor with the polyurethane 24v swap engine mounts from garagistic :)
Where did you get your motor from? Im planning on doing this same swap in april and im having a hell of a time finding a motor in NH.
I found mine through Craigslist! Id recommend checking that and some Facebook groups/marketplace
Nick Siede go on eBay there is an s52 in Waterbury ct
@@derkm he meant from which car E34/E36
@@lukasgaseb1995 Oh oops lol I got it from an E30 that had the swap already so I'm not sure if it was originally from an E34 or E36. I do know it forsure has an E34 oil pan though.
Hey am doing the same swap my don’t start can you help me out with couple question can we FaceTime
Hey great video, what is the intro song?
Thank you! "Ian Ewing - Trinidad"
With cover
That m50 was from e36 or m45 ? Why some people change the sump and you not
The M50 was originally from an E36 but I bought it from someone who had already swapped it into their own E30. They already installed the proper E34 M50 oil pan onto it so the sump was in the correct location for my E30 😌
Can you say me sompthing more aboat engine mount arms... where to put them and whitch one I need to juse from e 30 e36 e34? The originals mount arms are too front...
Engine mount arms can be from an e36 with an m50, m52, s50 or s52
Ok, and where to put arms on blok? Can you send me some pic on my e mail ristovic991@gmail.com
one more sub!
I found this vid bcs im about to m50 swap my e30 m40
Can you tell me the options what oem engine rubber mount should i use?
E28 m5 rubber engine mounts will work! But i do recommend the garagistic 24v swap engine mounts as an oem+ option
@@derkm aight man thanks a lot!
@@derkm e28 m5 are impossible to find

Do you have to disconnect battery during the process
Yessir! Definitely have your battery disconnected during this whole thing
What did you do with the brake booster?
I'm using a modified e21 brake booster i believe which i got with the engine! You can also use an ix brake booster with the master cylinder, a modified porche 944 booster, or even stock booster if you drill new mounting holes in the firewall to scoot it over!
What’s the average cost of doing this swap?
Chris Campos people claim on doing it for less than a grand but I'd say on average, it's about 2 - 3k but can go up to any price depending if you wanna refresh the motor, get new parts, rebuild the motor etc. I spent maybe around 1-1.5k on the swap so far but I'll make a video regarding the budget and how much I spent in the future 😁
derkm exactly the reply I wanted! Thanks brother, new subscriber
Hey where find oil pan
You can get them from an e34 525i with an m50 from the junkyard or second-hand 👍
Amusing that you say its a m50 but its actually a m52 ... Kappa, see the little knob on fron of the engine where the intake cam sits... yep. thats Vanos unit.
I did this swap last year to my own 1989 320i e30 dropped in a e39 528i - m52b28 motor
Its an m50tu (technical update) which comes with vanos; so technically still an m50 and not m52. I also have an m52b28 from an e39 sitting in my garage lol
Another way to tell if its a m50 and m52 is where the oil cap is. If its towards the firewall then its a m50; if it's towards the front of the car then its a m52.
oil cap is just on the valve cover, I have both covers in my garage and both fit the m52, the one is made of plastic, thats cap is towards the front of the engine, and the metal cover has its oil cap towards the firewall, so that isnt not an accurate way to identify. just fyi - thank you for your response
That's true! I guess assuming the valve cover was never swapped, it might be accurate but since they can be swapped then its not for certain unless you check other things. But yeah man, no problem!
m50-iron block, difrent intake manifold than m52, oil filter cap made from aluminium. m50=obd1 m52=obd2
Specs on the wheels?
16x9 et24ish i believe with 10mm spacers and 205/40's
Please work on this car safely. Level ground.
Sorry guy you don't tell all the trust about the problem you meet. At the moment I swap m52 on e30 since 6 months I research all part
