However, increasing power on a BMW engine comes at great expense: Forced induction kits, expensive parts, "money shifts", and the ever-present "BMW markup". But fear not, because we've come up with a way to gain power without busting your wallet - the Ford Mustang 5.0 is the perfect solution for maximum power on a minimum budget. It's cheap, powerful, and we make it easy to swap in your BMW. Our E36 5.0 conversion parts help you convert your car for less than you think.
