- 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!

I don’t get how your subscribers don’t like the E30 content! How can you call yourself a BMW fan if you don’t like E30s 😭
For real! Respect Your Elders! The E30 has a lot to do with the "Ultimate Driving Machine" mantra
Before bmw... All pvc parts... Omg 3 water pumps..
E30 is our first love of BMW. Dont call yourself BMW fans if you dont like E30
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.
That's just prosperous
While the s54 would have been a cool swap, Im still happy that the e30 is keeping a BMW engine. I was getting nervous that it was going to be another boring LS1 whatever swap.
Nothing boring about an Ls. It would’ve been better actually
I feel like the B58 would be kinda cool
Call me a purest or what ever you like but unless your only goal is power an LS shouldn’t go in an e30
@@esdrasferreras1227 LS is better for you because of availibility, and low price. Bimmer has the best engines.
@@esdrasferreras1227 Eh a Big V8 in an E30 is something done so much already and just seems wrong. I dont hate the LS but its a big relief seeing something more "Eurpoean" going into an E30 for once. Something that doesntmake it an silly overpowered Monster but more a very powerful but not Batshit crazy Sportscar
Honestly yes mainly just watch the N54 content but I’m definitely going to be following this build now!
Thanks for fulfilling your promise of an E30 video
🙏🏼
A a fellow s52 swapped e30 owner, good choice
Hyped to see what the car will look and sound like once done!
The suspense!
Christian I am so pumped for this build!!! My dream build is a E30!! Can't wait to see what you do with it
Yess
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.
Yeshur, more E30 content🔥
I knew it was gonna be an s52. I was hoping for an s62, but I'm very excited still :) you're gonna love it when it's done.
Can’t wait to see more videos of this build!
More e30 content
Before i really fell in love with bmw’s I didn’t like your channel but now …I think it a great contribution to the community..you and joshm3 are my go to’s
Awesome to see more content on the E30, I was watching some videos on it today :)
Same
Good timing!
Love this year of bmw.
The lengedary E30 M3 the car that started the M3 generation love this car. The interior is so timeless love it
Fact 💯
i wouldnt say the interior is timeless it look awful in todays times, as for the interior i would say its prettt iconic
@@liamtree1250 that rude the E30 is worth a lot more than the cars which are out these days
@@liamtree1250 I don’t think it’s awful, It looks pretty cool in my opinion and I think it’s interior is better than some new cars today 😂
Finally! Been waiting for this for a while.
Please we want e30 content ASAP!!
I mean i’m thirsty of this content bro.
I've been waiting for this build for a while. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Digging this even more than the other builds. Bravo.
we love e30 content
I’ve been waiting for this video 😁
By far my favorite build you’re doing exactly what I’ve been wanting to do especially with the interior.
Says I’m gonna start making videos again makes this video then no more videos again. Solid
Hells yea ! ... eventually this will be the swap i do. My little m20 still got life for now
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 🤙🏾
You are a true man of car culture 👍
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.
@@armandovicario7977 M50B25 is literally indestructible, will withstand 1000hp when built and like 500 on stock motor, and you can squeeze like 300 out of it NA.
Great stuff!
The guys at Throtl (June 5, 2021) put a Dash Overlay in an employee's e30 and it was MINT! Also, you should see if the guys at Street Banditos have any ideas about your rusted roof. They may even be able to skin a Carbon Fiber overlay that you could paint if you want to...never know.
Hell yeah I’m excited for the swap! I’ll definitely be watching this series 😁
Oh my! Is that a 325is ? South African legend. love it
really happy to see the E30 getting some love.....
Finally some e30 content😍
It took me 4 years to get my e30 m52 road worthy, its still not done yet. As long as you keep coming back to it, thats all you have to do!
The story of this start and stop is the story of my life 🤣
Beeeen looking to this build
Finally some e30 content❤️🥵
YESSSS
RELENTLESS E30 CONTENT IS WHAT WE NEED
My uncle had a 87 convertible bmw e30 silver 325 I I restored it n have it it’s got leather interior
Original bbs wheels i love it
Silver / black top
I just bought a e30. Please keep this series going bro
YESSSS A E30 VIDEO AGAIN
Great vids
This is exactly the car I wanted to strip down and rebuild. 1991 325is would be the ultimate rebuild
I love bmw e30 videos.please dont stop
BMP carbon roof. Cut the rust out and get some weight savings
We would always be happy to supply one, but shipping from UK to US at the mo is crazy expensive on items that large - Joel @ BMP
@Joel All good man. I know freight/shipping is crazy right now. Would still love to see what it looks like. Any links you can share?
@@VehicleVirals th-cam.com/video/c15Z8-VXL_0/w-d-xo.html - in this video you can see the BMP carbon roof on the E30 shell
@@VehicleVirals our TH-cam channel has a few videos on the roof itself, but if not, drop us a message on any of our social media pages (BMP Conversions) and I’ll ping photos over
Is this adamlzs old shop? Sick build tho man building my own was great information keep up the hard work
In South Africa BMW made an E30 325is that was only ever made for South African market with a 2.7 liter engine and an E30 333i also only ever made in South Africa.
Awesome choice for the engine
Cool build
E30 FOR EVER!!
tbh i am only here for the e30 content
Good choice for engine swap! Those S52's with bolt ons and cams will definitely be quick!
For this car is why I follow the channel tbh
The only E30 engine swap that makes sense is a S65 V8 duh 🙄
S62B50...
M70 😃
Dope build! I’m currently doing a k24 e30 build as we speak 💪🏾🔥🔥
Legendary E30 lookin to get one and build it myself .
I love the e30 vids, glad theyre back,
M-tech bodykit in the plans?
Haven't thought that far out yet.
Before you watch the video like it then watch it👍up
This guy gets it 👊🏽
Better off putting the s52 crank and rods into the m20b25 💪💪 3.1 liter m20 built right makes more torque and sounds better
Oh yeah! 😁 Finally
nice work on that interior! Look forward to the build!
More E30 content! Woo! Everyone should hit that thumbs up button so we continue to see more E30 content!
i am excited to see new heart roaring in cool body.
Finally an e30 watching from California 🚘
Cant believe its been a year an a half already!
Excited to see some old school new content for a change.although I want to see the e46 build,this will also do. But bro be consistent as you post hardly new content anymore.
Finally an e30 video
love your channel
Finally E3️⃣0️⃣
As a Canadian that car looks in amazing shape 🤣
I’m looking forward for this build
More reliable and practical swap, keep it up!
Just bought a super clean, mint e30 325...looking up some videos and come across you guys and then slowly realize why this video looks so familiar. Are you guys in Adam's old shop space?? Either way, got a sub from me. Trying to find more E30s in the Orlando area for some meets!
I’m sad that you threw away oem e30 parts. Especially the headlight covers. Those cars won’t be around long enough:(
I’m looking to do an s38 swap on an e30 i have. But nothing wrong with a clean modern NA i6…. Power to weight ratio is plenty for this car
Im 14 and want this as a first car. All in all how expensive was it to swap the engine?
LS1 swap or s54 is the only way to go
planning to get a 4 door e30 too
Cool! When is the next vid coming out?
Is there a second video? I’m looking and can’t find a 2nd clip.
You should get a complete e30 m3 fiberglass body kit. No bolts shown or anything it’s not like a wide body it will actually look identical to an e30 m3 I can find a kit if you want
Jimmy Oaks has a S52 swapped e30 with itbs and it rips
Awsome! E30 is back! Will you convert the body for M3 one or wide body it down the line?
Not sure yet. Focusing on the driving it for now.
I should have just stepped up and went s50/52 swap...but $ and time...still love the M50b25tu though, winds up like a Honda 😁
Did you watch the video?
@@VehicleVirals Heck yea I did! Why? You just went with the motor setup I should have gone with is all I was saying.
@@alsaku33 my apologies! I thought you were referring to me. My bad 😂
@@VehicleVirals 😁 No bigge my man, really like the channel. I also have an e90 LCI N54 😅
Imagine an s55 swap
Or even a S85, don’t think that’d be possible tho
@@giraffe8554 nah keep that in the e60
Love the e30
Good to see some work on it. Still think an m62 would be a good swap
Christian did you consider covering the dash with alcantara
Why would I? it's a non cracked one.
Keep it up!
Second drive of the e90!
Next episode please :)
I would love to see how u repair the roof. My car has the same problem.
Greetings from Germany
You too live the dream👍🏽💪🏽😉
Lmao that pipe almost killed both u
I think you should have swapped an S50B32. Individual Throttle Bodies FTW
Damn why was the video so short! need more content on this e30 build asap
Was the original engine too hard to refurbish? If you were swapping out a 318i M40 it'd made sense but this is a 325is, those are worth a lot in good ORIGINAL condition.
I am in the process of installing a N54 into my E36 coupe
Sreten from M539 Restorations would totally save the engine 🤣 and say that it’s not that bad 😃
I can't find where you explain why you didn't use the S54 engine? What was wrong with it? Why did you change your mind? Was it just money (I under stand completely if it was I just wanted to know why). But yes you should have a nice build with the S52. It won't be the icon it would have been but it will be very nice.
WHERE do you found the S54B32 engein?? Here in portugal is impossible to found one! And i want to make a swap
But where are the next videos? :(
