S13 with a BMW M50 engine? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

The M series Bmw engines M50/52 and even the earlier USDM Spec S52 motors are great power houses in NA format, but they are incredibly expensive to run, modify and replace parts with.

it can be done, if you are a bmw fan and love them that much yes.
But in light of other Iron Inline 6 engines (1j/2j) it's not a viable swap. especially since you can take an IS300 2j with the W trans and pretty much drop it in place in the 240.

this also comes froma guy who has owned both an S13 and S14 and an e36 M3 (and I do miss my M3 alot.... alot alot)
