Yep, I have a pair in nice shape! Decided not to put them into my 325.

$325 shipped to lower 48 firm.

how many miles? scored? very interested. IIRC the guy I bought them off said they had 111K, although miles aren't the issue. There is very light scoring on two of the bearing surfaces, very good shape versus many out there. Seems all E36 cams have some scoring. I was going to install as is, or you could have someone polish it out. Cams lobes are fine.

Am I understanding what is being said here?
Sorry for my ignorance but are we saying that the 3.0 E36 M3 cams fit into the E36 328 M52 motor?
If so, can somebody point me in the direction of a site that can offer more info on this subject.
Thanks

They are S50 cams like I posted. They came out of a 95 M3. It had a 3l motor. Will they work on a 328? From what I've read, yes. Search and you'll find more info. If not sure, pass.

S50 cams work best in M50 motors
S52 cams work best in M52 motors
this is a great mod for a vanos 325, very nice gains up top.

Sorry, they were sold to me.
Didn't you buy somebody else's cams 2 weeks ago? Are you just snatching up all of the S50 cams?

NO. Someone posted up a set of M3 S50 cams for $200.00 plus shipping. I jumped on the deal and told him that I'll take them and then I called him to finalize the deal. He called me back that evening and told me that someone "out bid" me.
I had no idea that he was trying to auction them off on here. Just a very bad way to do business. Here is the original ad:
