Re: bmw 318ti turbo
do an s52 swap, you'll love it - probably gonna be a little more pricey but that car with the m engine is priceless
i had a 318is and drove a lot of e36 ms and i gotta tell you out of the e30 e36 and e46 m3s that one is the most balanced

no really though id like to see some of these and how long they have been going, i was real interested in those a while back when i found one for cheap.
all the ones i found and read about overheated/blew up/broke shortly after boost. i think i read other stuff to like the rear end and or transmissions are not overbuilt at all.
