my_e36 43 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 as topic.... M3 Cam (S50/S52 engine) to go into 323/325i (M50/M52 engine) Is it possible? If yes, what else is needed to be changed? While the head is open, should I do the grinds, ports, throutle body, etc... ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 I have read the S50B30(US) cams can be put into a M50B25. I'd say they would also go into the M52B25's head. You don't need to take the head off to swap the cams, but if you have a M52B25 (323i) you'll definitely want to swap to the OBD1 (M50) inlet manifold. Have a read on bimmerforums, there are quite a few guy's running 325 & 328 race cars with those mods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted May 26, 2005 That's cool, the M50 question is for my friend and M52 is for me. I definitely am thinking of M50 intake/ODB1 conversion myself, does anyone know what sort of $$ are we looking at? (incl parts & labour) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonty m50e30 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2005 S50 intake cam on intake side of M50 and m50 intake cam to exhaust side, I would expect a lot of bling$$$ unless you find a second hand one cheap. supposed to produce good gains though, just buy an m3 :thumb: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
