e30 S50 Swap?'s

Im wondering if anyone on this site knew of anyone that has done this swap or knows where i can find more info about the cost of getting it done?

Car, Paint, Engine (rebuilt), Brakes, etc. Is it in the ball park of 10-15k? Or with Labor and Parts it adds up big time?

Thanks

Yes it's been done, not much info on specifics though. I think olyo can get away with it in that price range.

I'll get you a link in a minute. It's in this same subforum.

You can pick up a motor and tranny for 2/3k and I have a very reputable mechanic in OC who specializes in E30's. He can do the full swap for about $2,500

I dont know all the details about these conversions. When you say full swap would cost 2500 is that with all the electrical and brake labor?
