E34 M5 w/ an S52 out of an E36 M3. Courtesy of our friends at DailyTurismo.
Honestly, this makes a little bit of sense. E34 Ms have a reputation for being... needy , and while this example will be down on power to an S38, it's wouldn't be a monumental task to get it back up around 300HP and it still looks and handles like an E34 M5.

I hate this. The S38 is awesome. And special. This engine is not.

yeah, this is weird. If it were just a regular 5 series I would think it was cool, but idk if I'd do this to an M...

Less power, flat seats...
If you can't afford the maintenance on a S38, buy a 535i. Case Closed.

exactly. why not get a cheap E34, do the swap, then upgrade suspension and brakes?

That's what usually happens, and that is good. Keep it that way. What happened to that poor S38!/

Yep, and you'd probably have spent a lot less

If the engine was dead/on its last legs, this probably made more sense. Not many people out there are willing/able to pay twelve gazillion dollars to rebuild an S38. Now a good car gets to live on with a decent engine. I'm sure someone wasn't just like "nah I hate the S38 let's put the S52 out of my M3 I crashed last month." Definitely with you on the WTF about the seats...

I just went on Ebay to see if the seller was trying to say that a S52 > S38, but I realized that it was sold as a 525i with a S52. The M5 keyword was added to the title to generate traffic (and it did!) I'm surprised that dailyturismo didn't catch this.
Now a very clean S52 E34 with nice AC Schnitzer wheels and apron, that's something I approve of! (except the seats)

Oh gawd I can't believe I didn't pick up on that talking about the seats...the steering wheel and tan dashboard are a dead giveaway
Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing.

This looks the kind of swap I wanted to do to my E34 525i 5MT. Even with a Dinan chip, the M20 engine was a tad on the weak side (168HP stock, 182 chipped). An extra 58 HP (comparing to stock M3 engine) would have been a nice boost, with room for growth.
Ages ago I wanted to see a V12 and in E34, but I've learned the value of simplicity and light weight, especially when it comes to handling.
