Swap fee at GPS was about $2500. There are also a lot of additional bits we needed, such as AKG engine mounts, an E34 oil pan just to name a few for the swap to be successful. I'd say probably north of $6000 for all the engine goodies including swap fee when all said and done.. and that's without looking at my spreadsheet.
Haha you see, that's why my E30 will have the M20 for a while (not a big fan of that engine to be honest). Shelling out $6k on a car I already overpaid for, while the M3 is begging for MORE mods is not an option at the moment. Not to mention $6k and I'd still be rolling on bottlecaps

Just out of curiosity, would that total price go down significantly if it was an S50 instead?
