Does your friends car have a proper suspension set up for the S52 in the front?
yes he does have the M3 front struts, he just bought the wrong motor honestly, high mileage sketchy and cheap. i told him it would be cheaper in the long run to buy a lower mileage engine, its always overheating, the MAF has no idea what to do, it throws a CEL every day and the aluminum flywheel makes a horrible noise everytime the gas is touched....just a terrible car though, i feel regret everyday for being a part of that project *Facepalm*

So buy the right S52 for yours. If you upgrade everything else you need to, Trust Me, you'll be happy with your decision, AND everything will work together flawlessly.
