I bought a 1993 M3 with around 330 KMs on it. This is my 3rd e36 in just over a year I dont know much about the car and the owner knows even less. Its in pretty bad shape body wise but for 1200$ i could'nt care less.
I'm not sure but I was doing some research and I believe this might be a euro S50B30 which would make me a very lucky and happy guy. Does anyone have any info about this car and what kind of mods would be needed to put a turbo or supercharger in? Any wise word or advise from other S50B30 owners would be much appreciated.
It might wise to first figure out for sure what you actually bought before you start buying mods. If Euro M3s weren't sold in Canada, I somehow doubt the owner wouldn't know anything about the car since they would be quite rare and probably a bit pricey.
Just my 2c.

Paste your VIN there after reading the first post.
E82
The US spec M3 didn't come around until '95 AFAIK, sounds like that thing will need quite a bit of work to get it back to DD status. 330kms is quite a bit of mileage.. you're probably looking at an engine rebuild at the very least before going FI.

I'll take pictures when I get the chance I didn't even pick the car up yet I just put a deposit I'm waiting to work things out with seller.
I will definitely open the engine up see what it needs when I get it I'm already sure needs a valve adjustment at least.
Its probably too early to start thinking about FI but I was wondering if it was a good idea to turbo or supercharge this engine would it be worth it ?
Ohh and carjoe I might have take you up on that photo session since I dont have a camera right now.

The S50B30 (3.0L Euro M3 engine, 286bhp) doesn't have hydraulic lifters. Valves need to be adjusted periodically.
its a euro
there are a few in canada, which have been imported from europe
check the build date too
there should be a production number too. I dont remember out of how many
Do you have some pics of it?...
Music is my LIFE!!!

I thought Euros' were 94 only. They were all documented somewhere, can't find the location though.
