S54 and 6 speed conversions

[Candia4441]

I am curently in the market for a 3.0CS. Not wanting a stock car..prefer to be modded. Springs, wheels etc. Also wanting to up the power. I have seen some S54/6 speed conversions but have not found any additional info. Do any E9 guys make a "kit" or is there a good project thread with this conversion?

Hello my friend, I am the one I swap s54 with 5 speed if you will listen to me stay away unless you have lots of money that you don't need there is countless hour and parts and very hard work and in the end when you want to sale it you don't get half of the money back, DO NOT TUCH S54 FOR E9, I know a guy he had a 633 BMW and he rebuild the engine with raising parts and twin turbo he is mechanic he didn't pay labor but he have 700HP do you want more than that and he didn't spend half what I spend on the S54
do not do this what I did or you will lo0s 60 or 70K

If you want S54 horsepower, the S38B38 motor from a euro M5 has 340hp. Make sure you change the bearings no matter how young the motor is.

True, but S38s are getting very hard to find. Not sure you want a B38 w/the dual mass flywheel?

Look for at least $10k for an S38 if you can find one in good condition.

Well said.
I go further, I have coffee at home. 2.000 cars is too big for me.
