Not sure I understand the point of dyno videos that show no numbers. So the question needs to be begged, what power did it put down. Nice car tho!

Yes, what other's said. Approximate cost?

This is a really gorgeous unit, damn the temptation to motor swap vs. SC changes every day. Chalk one up to RMS, would love to see this under my hood.

Now leaning back toward an LS3 swap. Also may try an S62 or even an S65 swap if we can find a wrecked M3. I don't want to have an FI track car. Anyway, decision will be made after the summer...

Lol awesome, you gotta drop a stage 3 in it for her!

Good grief this kit makes the car an absolute weapon. Wow, just wow. I can't imagine what it would be like to have a 1M with this kit. Good Lord.

Not really that surprising, the 135i is just a superior car ;0

good lord

Terry, you should do a 6MT swap as well with your build, the tranny is still going to cause you grief.

I am going to make some serious adjustments with my plan. I can't for the life of me do anything to the interior of the car at the moment, it pains me to think about tearing up such a rare interior. ...

Ya looking forward to going through the process, the S52 seems to be a pretty stout motor.

Thanks :)




I looked at the thread, S54 swap is definitely something I am considering. I had also thought about an LS swap but I cant for the life of me settle on sticking a domestic motor...

Can you run the S54 on the original 325 tranny or did you swap that out as well?

Update, project thread created for my E36 M3 :)

I have just joined the ranks of E36 M3 ownership. I recently embarked on a quest to select a weekend spirited driving and occasional track car that I could enjoy during the summers. I had initially...

Bought the car, pick it up next Wednesday. Will likely focus on chasis, suspension and brakes first but I will reach out to you in the coming weeks to discuss the platform.

Going to be a weekend track toy, going to work on suspension, chasis, brakes and wheels first before adding power. First things first though is a driver mod, I am going to be signing up for lessons...

UPDATE:

Well, I went off the board and made a deal last night for an absolute mint condition, individual dakar yellow, E36 M3. I purchased it from the original owner who special ordered it in...

Well, I just made a deal for a mint, dakar yellow, e36 M3 last night. So I wont be back in the N54 fold but I do have huge plans for the car :)

Project thread incoming when I pick up the car next...

Pretty darn good pricing indeed, this will certainly invalidate the entire single turbo shiv world. Great work Tony.

Thanks Chris, there is a good chance I will be an e36 M3 owner tomorrow (making an offer on one) and I am starting up on my research. I was originally thinking of motor swap but the car I am looking...

Interested in understanding more about the stage 3 setup. Is this a built motor for stage 3? Pretty sick results though.

Wow, excellent work!

Pretty nice numbers. Good looking kit indeed.

Me likey! Will this fit in the 135i, there is a touch less room to work with in the engine bay.
