BMW E30 S54 SMG

[@Chattsteezy]

Typically I'd question the SMG but I feel like its very fitting with the motor in an E30. nicely done sir.

[@KissMotorWorks]

thank you mate ;)

[@angelolecsh2453]

By far the best s54 build I've seen... I can only dream of having what you have.. Nice job.. Build by BMW perfected by you.

[@KissMotorWorks]

Thank you for the nice words. It's an amazing car and really enjoyable to drive. ;)

Love this music ! Must fit greatly the e30 weight. The e46 is really heavy.

how to wire connetion adaptation smg gearbox to e30 ?

[@beemerlad1236]

Nice one bro, sounds sick. Bet it goes well with the s54 in her

[@KissMotorWorks]

Thanks mate, yes she is flying.

[@moudib9492]

Awesome build, sounds great, really cool e30 all round but i wish it was a manuel 😢

[@KissMotorWorks]

Thanks. I wanted to challenge myself. Building a manual is easy and i done a lot already. I wanted something different.

[@montargoisloiret3857]

Good morning, how are you doing ? What is the price of such a transformation? Gearbox and engine included

[@KissMotorWorks]

@@montargoisloiret3857 Hello. Labour is around 160hrs. We do £65 plus VAT so that’s around £12.5k Engine and gearbox £7k But you will still need plenty of parts.

[@adrian9643]

this is sick, can you provide any more info on the paddle setup? is this using factory e30 clockspring or hybrid?

[@KissMotorWorks]

I’m using e46 m3 steering column

[@TRGracer]

how much does the whole conversion cost?

[@KissMotorWorks]

Not sure. I had the donor car. Obviously countless hours of labour.

[@norispek1]

Hello again, can I ask you what diff ratio you went with ? And what the gear speeds are roughly. Lastly, have you had any probs with your engine in the time you’ve had it ? I’d like to know what further work you did also if you’ve time. Many thanks.

[@KissMotorWorks]

Hello. I’m running with a 3.91 ratio 8 clutch LSD with 45% lock. I had no problem at all. Engine has only 63k miles. New vanos and bearings done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4u1iaWbf6mnoas

[@norispek1]

Nice1.. their putting mine together..soon lol cost an all but.. I have a manual gear box with mine and decided on a M3 325.1 I think diff. 33,000 on it and as I just bought it, same as you, doing the bearings and rod something or another lol.. seeing your car and vids.. well I just can’t wait. If you have WhatsApp or a link where I can show you pics of my very pretty S54 I sure will.

[@nimblybimblyinthetrees]

Great build. Did you do any kind of write up for this? I'm putting everything together to do this with an N26.

[@KissMotorWorks]

Hi Duncan. Thank you. I haven't got a build thread, but i can answer and show more pictures if you are interested. You can find me as Kiss Motorworks on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp. The N26 build sounds interesting.

[@norispek1]

Lovely ! Do you still have it ? How much is it worth ? Im having one built now.

[@KissMotorWorks]

Yes I still have it. Even done more job on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4u1iaWbf6mnoas I’m not sure how much it is worth but I would not let it go under £45k for sure.

[@norispek1]

@@KissMotorWorks I noticed you drove the 406 on your video.. For the benefit of long engine life how often should I service the S54 and how often for vanos check please ?

[@KissMotorWorks]

@@norispek1 change oil every 5000miles or every year.

What type of seats are those that you installed? Also did you place down special tracks for the seats to sit on? Awesome vid !!!! Waiting on my ragtop 325.i E30 to get out the shop, but looking for seats on the driver side in the meantime!

Hi Philip. They are BMW E30 M3 Recaro Speed seats. You can find them as Recaro speed Sr2 or Sr3. And still possible to buy the runners for the seats. Hope you will have your car back soon. ;)

[@e46anas]

Very nice car man, did you use the abs from the donor car ? and did you go with the 5x120 conversion using the e46 hubs to make everyting work (reading the abs wheel sensors ...) ?

[@KissMotorWorks]

Thanks mate. Yes I'm using the e46 m3 abs. I have e36 m3 evo hubs on the front and e36 compact rear subframe on the back.

[@e46anas]

@@KissMotorWorks thank you very much for the answer , i am going for the e46 hub with adapter and e38 brembo caliper with e46 330i disk brake on the front , and e46 330i disk and caliper( with adapter ) on the rear with e90 hub , to much braking power for non-abs , i will use m3 e46 pump as standalone unit .

That is so damn awesome! How’d you get all of it to work? Are you running stand-alone?

No standalone at all. All standard bmw ecu's... i wired everything needed.

[@KissMotorWorks]

Thank you. ;)

[@sasalolic999]

Lovely build man. Does everything on the S54 cluster work the same as it would in an E46? If so, how hard was it to get it wired. I looked up getting an S54 cluster in an E36 and learned that it is allegedly extremely hard due to the different inputs of E46 and E36 clusters (don't know the technical terms, as I know next to nothing about wireing tbh). And did you have to cut it to fit the E30 dash?

[@PeteHSM]

Idk about what he did specifically but he has e46m rearview mirror, overhead lamp, hazards/door lock button, and I believe an e46m fusebox under the glovebox. I’d assume he just took some personal preference items and everything else he needed to connect an e46m cluster to an s54 and also make it work without any major issues and added it to the car, presumably all controlled by a standalone unless he got the dmes to play nice outside of an e46m (or just took every sensor that would cause an issue and put it in the car)

[@KissMotorWorks]

Sorry for the late answer, I missed your question. Everything is work on the dash because I am running a complete e46 m3 chassis loom.

[@KissMotorWorks]

@@PeteHSM The car has the complete e46 m3 chassis loom with all e46 m3 electric. So that`s why everything is works standard. No standalone ecu. All coded to e30. :)
