A day or two after buying the engine I realized that I had bought the SMG version which would not be so easy to install in the E30, so I gave Axis a call.  <\/p>\n<p>According to Alex it wouldn&#8217;t be a problem. They were about to begin removing another S54 with similar mileage WITHOUT the SMG and as long as I was ok to wait a few more days, he would send that combo instead.  Alex made the transaction so easy and was very accommodating.  They had great feedback on Ebay so I highly recommend you purchase from them if you can.<\/p>\n<p>On top of the transaction being so smooth,  the engine looks BRAND NEW!! (see pics)<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks goes out to Alex and co.(from Axis Motors LLC) for making it all so easy!<\/p>\n<p>I had the engine sent directly to Rui Azevedo&#8217;s shop in NJ.  He did my Euro S50 swap back in 2010 and I was very happy with the result.  It&#8217;s there now and they&#8217;ve begun working on it.  I&#8217;ve asked him to repaint the engine bay as well, since I wasn&#8217;t happy with the prior spray.   <\/p>\n<p>I hope to have some more content on here soon, so stay tuned!<br \/>\nJoey<\/p>\n<p>[singlepic id=2099 w=512 h=384 float=none]<br \/>\n[nggallery id=79]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So after dealing with some life changing issues over the past year, I finally came across a good deal on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3050"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3058,"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050\/revisions\/3058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/joeysm3.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
