Hey there! Nice work! I'm doing the exact same thing as we speak. I'm preparing the S54 atm. But i'm struggling with the mountings arms. I have a M50B20 block, they are the same as the M52B20 arms but one side doenst fit the S54 holes. Do u have pictures for this?
Hey man random question but do you know anything about the ME9.2 (N62) DME? I want to enable sport mode and maybe a couple other things... I am local. Please let me know!
he man, nice video! do you mind telling me where you find the flasher tool at 4:24? untill now I have done all my flashes in the car, but since I am getting rid of the M52, I need a flashing tool.
How much did you pay for the S54 engine? I am planning to do this as well but for E46 316i Sedan. What's the right price to pay for an S54 engine and not get ripped off?
Ur looking at 10k for a motor now,and the chances of getting one that ain't beat to hell and back is even less. U will need a different trans cuz he at least has a 250g which is different than the one in the 316. Seriously with the cost of an s54 and the chances it will need a TON of work before it goes in,I've started looking into a euro s50.
@@TechTokOffical On eBay I see that they are going from 6000-12k $ on one UK website guy gave me a proposal for $5000 why is that cheap? " chances of getting one that ain't beat to hell and back is even less" you are right about this, but how can someone know when buying online in what condition is motor even cheaper or more expensive ones?
@@HakenE30 Hvala na odgovoru druze :) Vidim da su na Ebay cene oko 6 do 12k dolara. Al opet kako znati u kakvom je stanju i da li nije vracena kilometraza na ovim skupljim?
100% not true for the manual transmission, even m52b28 destroys the 2nd and 3rd gear of the getrag (had the car for 13 years, know many friends with similar experience - lawya) always fresh oil in the box etc ), once the zf was installed now issues any more (also 188mm differential, the smaller one 168 keeps breaking for 6-12 months even in open ones). The tork of healthy b28, m54b30, or S engines just is too much for the getrag and 168 diffs.
Haken is an absolute legend - have always been a huge fan of his work and passion for bmws! keep up the great work mate! Much love from Australia
how did he become so intelligent?
Looks good but ecu out in the open is scary, just flip the harness box and extend two wires and it all fits in stock location.
Is there a video/explanation on this somewhere? might save me the money for buying the Z3M cable.
I did this year's ago with the euro m3 s50 3.0 throttle bodies from Germany. Used adapter from blingfactory
Thank you for the informational video
I love your work bro ❤️

If they abuse the car, then anything can brake.
@@HakenE30 yep, for these guys v8 gearbox or diesel ones are the solution and 210 rear ends
