These.
The S52 is just a modified M52. The US S50 is just a modified M50. They're in a different family of engines from the S50b30 and S50b32 put in the rest of world e36 M3 (and later S54b32 in the e46 M3). Kind of scary that we almost didn't get a US M3 at all. I guess what we got was better than nothing
call it what ever you want. its still a fabulous motor.
Once in a while i see a E46 M3 and i get a little envious and run home to check how much theyre going for. But in the end, my old car and its "fake" M engine puts a smile on my face every time ive driven it through out the 7 years of owning it.
The S52 is plenty strong, modified M52 or not. I guess it depends on what you're used to, but it can run with a good amount of newer cars with similar sized engines.
keep in mind that these power statistics were accurate only when the engine was relatively new. Since your engine is 11 years old, you can expect to be down on power.
hmm my engine is from 94 and it produces 305bhp..M3 3.0 euro
Luckily I still had a wounded hobo, an unsatisfied erection, high-explosive semen and a score to settle. The night wouldn’t be a total wash.
Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
don't forget the s52 weighs a bit less than the euro engines or an s54. I wish there was a database of engine power-to-weight ratios somewhere. I understand the new e92 M3 v8 (s...62?) weighs less than the s54?
and don't forget the US S52 can be said in the same sentence as rb26dett and 2jzgte. It is a VERY strong motor and great or FI. It is certainly not FAIL.
I always wonder what these guys are searchin for when they come across these old threads to post in.
