Laurence takes us through Brintech's latest engine conversion - an M54 swapped E30. A beast on the road, this thing has all of the power and minimal weight, turning heads where ever it goes.

The only thing it really needs, (which you've hopefully replaced by now,) is some poly or delrin LCAB's. Those stock 'webbed' bushings are designed for nothing but comfort. Even the OEM e36 m3 ones (solid rubber) are better than those. One of the first upgrades I make on my personal or customer's cars. When you see crazy tire wear and "floppy" braking/ handling its usually always these LCAB "lollypop" bushings. I would've left the fuel filter closer to the frame rail underneath more. Other than those two things, it's a nice swap for sure.

Pete Savel yes we use solid poly bushes. Check out our build series of the red S54 E30. We have a whole episode on this topic

Raditor > spal fan > ac condenser > another fan can you show how you did that. And why an m54?
@BrintechCustoms5 жыл бұрын
Luke S we moved the AC condenser forward and fit a fan in between the rad and condenser. an M54 that makes over 180rwkw is good value and well balanced power. we also do S54 swaps.
@lukes63355 жыл бұрын
Brintech Customs tnx for the reply. Most of us in the us either grind down the waterpump or run a smaller fan to run ac.

@robi67132 жыл бұрын
Where i can find a steering wheel like that? Also, my daily driver is an 320i M20B20 E30, I would like to do a swap in the future, i was thinking about a 2 liter m50 or m52, or maybe 2.5 m52b25, what would be the easyest between m50 and m52?
@jahnjee Жыл бұрын
The steering wheel in a the video is a Nardi steering wheel, and I'd go for a m52 just because it's a newer platform and very reliable

We have front bowl sump kits for these engine swaps. We do have a wiring diagram yes, we also supply plug and play harnesses for these swaps.
