How much would you pay?

Well the E36 motors are not expensive so a 228kw 3.2 in a body that light would make for an entertaining drive

Yes, I had plans for my 316i...
Scrapped for now. . .
One day I want to have a monster 2 door though...hopefully:fencelook:

It might be cheaper to build that motor.

Personally I wouldn't buy it unless I am building a show car. It does make a difference when you pop the hood and that M power 4 pot shows its glory. For what it is and taking into consideration of the era this motor had poke but it had to be revved to be enjoyed. m30b32 had 145kw and 285nm if i remember correctly but that had power everywhere not just high up.

I think its sort of a combination of an m88 and m10, so its definitely doable for someone with the right skill-set.

I agree, unless for show, there are better, cheaper options.
I love m30, but i don't think its a practical swap anymore if we're talking e30.

Multiple S54 to E30 swaps have been done - apparently they are a hoot to drive too...

Yes I believe so. I'm not looking to swap though. I just thought this would be interesting. lol
