can i change the M50 engine of my E34 525i to the M5 S38 or M3 E36

The M3 E36 engine is basically the same engine as the M50. It has a longer stroke and slightly larger bore(+2mm). It would be cheaper to bore and stroke your M50 to 3.0 liter specs by using and M3 crank and forged pistons. Hope this helps.
