Step 1: Jack up the car and remove the wheels. With the car still on the ground, break the lug bolts free using the breaker bar and 17mm impact socket. Do not remove the lug bolts fully while the car is on the ground. Next, locate the jack point on the bottom of the rocker panel.
Since an engine swap requires so much time and work, it does not make sense to swap in an engine that is only slightly more powerful than the E30 engines, such as the M50B25 and 28. Generally speaking, the best engines to swap into the E30 are the E36 M3 engines, S50B30 and S52B32.
The cheapest possible new E30 that year (and therefore the cheapest available new four-wheeled BMW) was the 325 two-door, which cost $19,560 ($53,868 today). There wasn't much direct competition for this car.
