This is absolute goals. Great work man. Hope in the future theres more N54 E30's out there and that theres plug and play options for it. CT /// N5X ya hurd.
I can imagine bro ive got an n54 hybrid turbo fbo but it's an e93 but to have that setup in an e30 would be unreal great video an a real inspiration 💪🏼💪🏼
sadly I just wrecked my 135i, but now that I have the full donor car I'm going to go for hopefully the first 240sx and n54 setup, wrenches are already turning, fingers crossed.
what to do the best solution in swaping n54b3o in e30 ? the n54b30 have automatic gear box and i dont know if i replace this gearbox by manual one of n52b30 it will work good? and what about the ABS OF THE N54B30 AND HOW CAN I MAKE WORK IN THE E30 AND IS THIS ABS IMPORTANT FOR THE CAR TO GO NORMAL OR I CAN DRIVE WITHOUT IT?
hey, i tried the solution of building an oil pan and destroyed two N54 engines due to oil starvation with the front oil pan. So everyone trying that I suggest to do as he has done, change the front subframe.
Very Nice, is the N54 the engine used in the 1M ? I think only a BMW engine should be in a BMW, not sure what all the fuss is about LS swaps,sure I know it is cheap power but you lose character when you don't use a BMW engine. If I wanted a V8 BMW, the E39 M5 or E9X M3 would do nicely.
Yes, the 1M also got the N54. There’s definitely merit to both arguments. The LS is a very compact, readily available, RELIABLE, easy to work with package. Meanwhile motors like the E39 S62 are more expensive and won’t make as much power for your dollar. Then there’s the E9X S65, which had a myriad of issues mechanically/reliability related, all while being more expensive. S65 is also a tall motor, so by the time it fits in an E30, you’d have a built motor which vastly increase the cost. That’s of course all while ignoring the increased electrical complexity. Nonetheless, I’d like to see it done for sure!
Honestly LS swap get too much hate. Just because they are popular doesnt make them bad. They are popular for a reason. I can guarantee a LS e30 would be awesome to drive.
Check out my Instagram. @n54e30. As for the diff, I was using a 3.08 Torsten from a z3, went up to a 2.93 from a e28 535i. Might consider going back to a shorter 3.08.
With all this power, it's not hard to 5 lug swap. You can use e36 front knuckles and e36ti rear trailing arms or just use z3 hubs for the rear to make it full 5 lug conversion. Makes for bigger better brakes as well
Wish this was alowed in my country, they simply wont let you change the engine unless its proper dead, and even then it can only be the same model e30 engine back in😢
No a/c, it’s a tight squeeze. I’m considering air to water intercooler for space, and a 12v a/c compressor setup, but it’s never really that bad in Northern California
N54 offers way more torque out of the box and a massive tubing community for easy easy power with little supporting mods. I’m sure if you put the same money in an S52 as N54, you’d be at similar numbers

cual es el costo aproximado de inversión para ese swap??
Pitbull’s cousin is a dope guy and sick car builder.
😂
I’m dead 🤣💀
Mr worldwide
The man speaks facts!
This guy really n54 the world
that license plate is amazing, awesome build
Hahhhaha same thing I was thinking.
I got a good laugh but also a big ass smile from that plate 😅
as soon as i saw the license plate i looked for this comment
that license plate is perfect haha, coming from a 335, and now on an E30, this is super cool to see
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome job !! Applause in standing ovation! 👏👏👏
Respect for the hard work..
Awesome build
Best number plate I've seen.
This is absolute goals. Great work man. Hope in the future theres more N54 E30's out there and that theres plug and play options for it. CT /// N5X ya hurd.
I think with recent developments in the N54 scene, we're really close to seeing standalone plug and play kits for the N54
I'm just about to have one built by bmp conversions here in uk. Just waiting on build slot in workshop
@@BuiltForRedline man what year is your e30 ?
MashaAllah so beautiful
Jrjrrk
Thankfully they put them in many different cars..about 7 years production I think.
Complicated swap here!! Nice job.
Indeed! But its come together really clean
thats one bad ass E30 Bro!!
Definitely! I feel lucky I got to hear it rip in person!
I like how the exterior doesn't look like a showcar, nor like a beater. It's just a weathered, slightly worn E30.
Clean and classic is what I like to say!
absolutely beautiful
Totally agree!
Car looks waaay fresher 7 months later. Great job a
Well done
P30FF code haunted me during my 335i days lol love the plates
The N54 and N55 were both no stranger to that code 🤣
awesome car, and perfect plate for it
Right at home for a BMW that’s for sure!
In a 318 none the less, sleeper 👑
I’m telling you, the man is mad in the most fantastic way!
This car is sick my dream is to make a n54 or b58 e36
Dude looks like Mr Worldwide
damn this youtube channel is sick! The way he talked just so real car lover. Need more subs for this channel! good good video hehe
Thanks so much! More content coming soon. Lots of stuff in the works (;
This is wickeddd well done bro id love to build one 🤙🏼
It was such an insane build. Even in low rpms you could tell it wanted to break those tires loose!
I can imagine bro ive got an n54 hybrid turbo fbo but it's an e93 but to have that setup in an e30 would be unreal great video an a real inspiration 💪🏼💪🏼
I love the stock look
Agreed. Clean and classic
This is my dream car exactly im working towards this hopefully ill make it someday
go for it man! Not too bad of a swap and the information is becoming more readily available every day!
sadly I just wrecked my 135i, but now that I have the full donor car I'm going to go for hopefully the first 240sx and n54 setup, wrenches are already turning, fingers crossed.
Sounds dope, good luck!
Awesome build! Love the car and everything about it. Where could I follow the build?
N54e30 on Instagram!
Nice built. Did you have the front tires mounted backwards?
E30ff my fav
Haha best comment I seen. True n54 fan lol
So how does this compare from a smiles per gallon standpoint? Worth the extra trouble over an LS or S54?
Wild
It's an entire other thing hearing an N54 when you're in an E30, hearing wheel spin at 3k rpm
what to do the best solution in swaping n54b3o in e30 ? the n54b30 have automatic gear box and i dont know if i replace this gearbox by manual one of n52b30 it will work good? and what about the ABS OF THE N54B30 AND HOW CAN I MAKE WORK IN THE E30 AND IS THIS ABS IMPORTANT FOR THE CAR TO GO NORMAL OR I CAN DRIVE WITHOUT IT?
Most of these shots are in my area. I gotta meet this guy because I want to N52 swap my E30! That damn oil pan though
Novato cars and coffee! You might catch him!
I think people are working on an oil pan solution. The n52 had a stamped steel pan at one point. That would probably be easier to modify.
License plate is solid
Well I'm going to finish my e30 n54 one day eventually. 😀✌️
You can do it! A worthwhile swap :)
Would it beat a 400hp e30 M20?
Garageaholic on UA-cam swapped an N54 in July of 2020 and wrote up the process.
Indeed! A good friend of Eavan’s :)
hey, i tried the solution of building an oil pan and destroyed two N54 engines due to oil starvation with the front oil pan. So everyone trying that I suggest to do as he has done, change the front subframe.
I'm attempting to install in an e34. I was planning on doing the custom oil pan. Is it impossible to get it to work?

That much power, almost no traction.
I had to click on this one! Nice work....
Now lets see a B58 version! ;-)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
What was the manual transmission you used for the swap?
Ha ha!! I LOVE his front plate!! E30ff it's both a homage and a joke on N54 engine lights!!
how much it cost to put n54; into e30? for the future plan for myself
Have you come up with a plug & play kit😅
i love this build do you have a photo from the subframe and what kind of differential do you use ?
Unfortunately I do not have any!
Check out my Instagram. @n54e30. As for the diff, I was using a 3.08 Torsten from a z3, went up to a 2.93 from a e28 535i. Might consider going back to a shorter 3.08.
I want to put a b58 inside a 09 650i… can you provide the contacts he used to do this amazing swap 🎉?
B58 is an entirely different architecture and you can’t use the same information as this swap
bro made the e30 good
Custom oil pan?
Mr.Worldwide!
I'd like to see a s65 swapped in something
“It’s fun man”, proceeds to grab door while making a turn like he’s riding a rollercoaster 😂
Did you fill/redrill from 5 lug to 4 lug or do you have adapters?
With all this power, it's not hard to 5 lug swap. You can use e36 front knuckles and e36ti rear trailing arms or just use z3 hubs for the rear to make it full 5 lug conversion. Makes for bigger better brakes as well
02:13 is he holding on for dear life, this is a death trap.
you need a front lip. with a Ryan g splitter
Finally picked up a new valence, so I'll be making the front end pretty now.
is m50b20 2 liter engine swap more reliable than m20b20 on e30 4door?
M50 is bulletproof but go for a 2.5 and stroke it
Wish this was alowed in my country, they simply wont let you change the engine unless its proper dead, and even then it can only be the same model e30 engine back in😢
Ridiculous
W
W...win! This ride is an absolute win
Tire specs?? I have the same but with style 4s...
Hey you can ask him on IG @N54E30
We will not only only screenshot, we will own.
Update : finally got a body
Only three years to mess up an e30. Impressive.
🤘🏻
The play in that steering wheel tho 😅
That's called a stock e30 steering rack.... Terrible ratio
Im running an e46 ZHP rack, no play. All new inner and outer tie rods and no rag joint.
used to go to wyotech with this guy was my roommate too
Who are you? Lol! 🤘🏻
@eavenmarcum1759 I'm your old roommate from wyotech, Jeff. You had an e30 back then too.
You still got that foot fungus?
Chris's mom lived in Marin County, he had the 240z with the rear end clunk
A chubby version of the rapper pitbull
Ever wanna sell it hit me up!
Ya but does it have A/C??
No a/c, it’s a tight squeeze. I’m considering air to water intercooler for space, and a 12v a/c compressor setup, but it’s never really that bad in Northern California
Can you do this to my e24? lol
Change your steering wheel bro
Y love the cars is the solde the e30 for mie ou one troc contre un terrain pres de Disney land yes ho no please
s52 turbo would of raaaaped
N54 offers way more torque out of the box and a massive tubing community for easy easy power with little supporting mods. I’m sure if you put the same money in an S52 as N54, you’d be at similar numbers
thats old now. these cars are way easier to get than a s52
In France is cars look slippeur in france y love slippeur look slippeur Google ok no problème
Maybe one day he can get a front lip for it too... and still rocking the worst headlights E30s got... sigh
When you’ve got two turbos deliver 450hp or so at the crank of an E30, the rest hardly matters, thing is crazy
@@BuiltForRedline yes because with all that power who wants to see what’s coming up on them at night...
Finally making it pretty! New valence is being painted, and yes, the headlights suck haha. baby steps.
It looks much different now.
great work but that steering wheel 😀
I like having an airbag lol. Unfortunately there's not a better option if I want to keep the airbag.
