My custom s52 powered e21

[themadscientist]

Hey guys. I am almost finished up with my project. I just have some wiring to do and figure out what front bumper to run. After I enjoy the car a little more, I will probably strip it all down and repaint the entire car.

-1982 320i Alpine White
-1999 s52 converted to obd1
-zf transmission
-Prototype BC Racing coilover kit (just added yesterday)
-BBS RC041s from a 1994 MTechnic on 42DD adapters
-e36 dash with cluster and obc
-completely shaved engine bay with no exposed wires
-single headlight conversion with h4 HID bulbs
-e34 525i radiator
-headers with custom exhaust
-red 413 dme

Sorry for the cell phone pictures. I will break out the Nikon as soon as the project is complete.

If you would like to check out more on this build and other builds I am doing. These are all my personal cars and I decided to start a Facebook page to keep up the progress of them.

Looks great. Just so much easier in a LHD car.

Thanks guys! I was trying to get the pictures larger on here but it wasn't working. i have put a lot of hard work into that car plus I have been trying to balance four other project cars. Lol

[Jeroen]

We'd love to hear about your other project cars as well

As of right now, I have a 76 2002 that is getting fully stripped down for blasting and primer. I have a 1993 850ci that is completely gutted and race prepped. The block is getting finished up at the machine shop. It is a third gen 454 block with four bolt mains. I bought a fully forged eagle 496 stroker kit for it. I am putting something near a gt4718 on it and aiming for 1200 whp. It should be easily obtainable. I will be focusing all my energy on that one as soon as the e21 is completely finished.

I also have a turbo s52 e30 and a 1988 e28 to play around with.

No problem. Let me dig through my pictures and upload some.

Really a nice job you have done here
What engine mounts have you used? Original angle on the engine? What sump? What brakes? So many questions

Loads of more pics please

Nice looking build you've done there. Quite like the idea of a clean engine bay.

I get sooo excited when I see people talking about BMW 'S' engines, then I see its the USA spec built from the M52.
Still bet it'll go pretty well with that in. ~240bhp in an E21 is very fun

Original angle. E34 525 oil pan. I made some motor mounts that we're very simple.

I am still working on those pictures

Hello .

I am hoping that you may get this. I would like information on getting the e36 clocks when I do my m52 swap later this year.

OK keen to know some more detail if you see this.
