Long time no talk.
 Teehee. I finished my S50 swap.  Some during pics. Here we go. Car sideways in the garage:  Then we took off the hood n ****.    The nipple on my S50's manifold broke, so I had to get creative.  Then Ibarra (tangekenboo2 <3) showed up and we really started working.  Making a call to get another 17mm wrench.  Driveshaft being disconnected.   Motor on its way out.     Yay its out.  High front end lol.  Obligatory gangsta empty engine bay shot.  Brother in law helping me prep the s50 for install.  Oh hey what's that in there?  Let's look closer.  OH IT'S A S50. First start: YouTube - BMW first start Here's a little video of the first run after the exhaust shop. Ignore the car dying, I had to adjust the throttle cable a touch. YouTube - dride.mpg     Also, it sounds way better now, I had to tighten my spark plugs :|

Wow, congratulations. That looks great. Nice work.
I love the pic of the garage in all its chaos after the original motor was pulled. Reminds me of my backyard when I pulled my motor out. So messy yet strangely organized at the same time. Gotta love it.

The landlord was none too happy with the shape of the garage afterwards.

Danny,
Good to hear from you again. Congrats on the swap. M5x/S5x motors make old cars so much better.
