Bmw e36 m50 block turbocharging
Discussion
All,
I own a 328i with m52 engine
I have seen some posts on the internet people achieving 350whp plus on m50 turbo on budget build
My understanding is m52 is aluminum and m50 is cast iron
I think most scrap yards know what m50 is used for hence their price is £600+ for an engine where as m52 with aluminium block cost half that price
Is that a reasonable price to pay?
I have seen one asking for £700 including delivery which was taken from a car that had done 150k
Re turbo, would you do turbocharging on m50 vanos or non vanos?

£600!!! I recently sold a bare M50B25 engine for £200 and had it advertised for about 18 months. It was a struggle to get that much for it. Don't bother looking in scrap yards. Keep an eye on eBay and the various E36 Facebook groups. These engines come up for sale for much less than £600!
