    Hello guys!!...am new here...here's my car:

    1990 e30 m3 sport evolution # 545:

    Exterior:
    -Brilliantrot
    -It has all the sport evo body parts xcept for the front splitter

    Interior:
    -Black leather interior & everything else is the same as other sport evos
    -The ori suede mtech was retrim by previous owner to normal black leather , but i managed to get another one

    Engine & Drivetrain:
    -S52B32 (ouch??)
    -5 Speed manual

    Wheels:
    -Hartge 17" 3-piece

    A little history on the car:
    The car was brought in from UK into Malaysia in 1995 by a japanese guy whom revved the car "too much" that resulted with a blown s14, with the s14 being expensive to rebuilt in '96/7 in Malaysia, he decided to put in the s52 and the s14 was send back to japan with him(@$#$#)...
    I bought the car back in '06 wanting to restore it to its former glory but it is hard to find a 2.5L s14 anywhere near asia...
    For the past 2 years i've been searching high & low through europe and asia(especially japan) for the 2.5 s14 but wasnt lucky i guess...everything else is still intact xcept for the engine+drivetrain+front splitter..

    well,here's some pics of the m3:

    Hi Berq and welcome :) very nice car you have there, even though the previous owner installed an S50. BTW how is the install done ?
    Keep in mind the most important thing is that you are happy with your car anything else is secondary !

    Thanxs Thomas!.The install looks like factory install though.Almost everything is neat & tidy but it gets to me everytime people asks me to 'Pop the hood'.Its very powerful(to me) but in the end it is still not the same free-revving car that its supposed to be.

    OK, hello dear...
    do we need to find you a genuine Sport Evo Engine ? Is that what you want ?
