5 Things I Don’t Like About S54 Swap E30 BMW

[@knives4apro485]

new to the chanel, my e30 m52 swap was twitchy until i installed new front lower control arm bushes. Im in Aus so used an Oz brand (superpro), i got the e30 m3 offset lollypops in nolethane and it sorted it out straight away

[@MeccaWerks]

I’m glad to hear that! I’m 99% it’s Bc my e46 M3 rack has a dead spot in it so the car kind of wanders through the turns and makes the rear twitchy. Rack is on order and waiting for it to get here so I can verify. Welcome to the channel!

Keep it up man

[@MeccaWerks]

Thank you! That means so much!

[@Mr.Walker994]

2:12 you know, they make pills for that 👍

[@MeccaWerks]

Yes, yes they do. Lol.

Would an upgraded radiator help with cooling?

[@MeccaWerks]

Define upgraded? From factory to a mishimoto or from an e30 to say a Z3M?

[@hooptie157]

@@MeccaWerks well something so that the temps won’t creep on you in traffic

[@MeccaWerks]

@@hooptie157 I used a factory Z3M radiator with a 15” spal fan and it does great. My S62 e30 will use a mishimoto Z3M radiator and pusher fans. Should keep it cool.

Any idea about s54 drive by wire?

[@MeccaWerks]

I have it on this car. It’s brilliant. You just need the M3 pedal, the e46 mounting bracket (white piece) and it all bolts up to the e30. Just plug the harness in and you’re good to go.

@@MeccaWerks thanks 😊

[@MeccaWerks]

No problem!

[@i8baconman]

What wheels are those?

[@MeccaWerks]

ESR SR005s.

[@GG99MW2]

Great Video. For wiring harness where did you buy it. also do you have the ac CAN-bus adaptor ? Which AC compressor are you using ?

[@MeccaWerks]

I bought it from E30Drew on R3V. And I do not have the harness adaptor yet for the AC but I do have the CAN emulator module. I am using the factory e46 M3 compressor.

Great video any new content on the 135 bbk

[@MeccaWerks]

Thank you!

[@MeccaWerks]

There will be shortly! Waiting for brake pads that are back ordered.

M20b25 more fun to drive .

[@MeccaWerks]

I think M20s are more fun to drive simply Bc you can drive them flat out all the time. I love the saying, “it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow”.

[@adiposeadventures.975]

Yeah you can drive an s54 flat out too and s54s are way more fun. Lol
