Interested in getting a different motor. M52, S50, or S52. A manual tranny with it would also be great, but right now I am just looking at some possibilities.

show me what you got, as well as mileage, any work done to it, etc!

I can afford a motor so if something is a good deal I can pay for it, dont want potential sellers thinking that I am wasting your time

Thanks,

Nick

don't have one for sale, but I wouldn't even bother with looking for an m52. Unless its almost free it'd just be a waste of money. S50 would be top choice since OBDI is so easilly modded but you cant really go wrong with S52.

well if I got an S52 it would be OBD 1. Are M52 motors that bad?

I figured an M52 would be a lot cheaper, and I could probably throw in some s52 cams, and get some sort of software, as well as using my M50 manifold?

after talking to some more bmw owners. I was thinking of replacing all the seals in my M50 motor and either throwing in some s50 cams, or possibly doing the zionsville 2.8 stroke. Any other ideas similar to this would be great :)

well i was saying to not do the m52 because its not much more powerful than your m50. But some s52 cams and m50 manifold sounds sweet.
