E30 M3 S54 Swap Complete! Lots of details..

Ryan used an aftermarket ECU, so he did not have to deal with EWS.

If you want to use the stock ECU, it is by far easier to take the whole EWS system from a donor vehicle than to attempt to defeat it.

That said, you will likely have to get a ECU reflash to remove the need for a DSC signal that would ordinarily cause an error code. There are plenty of people that offer this service, such as Bimmerworld.

What did you end up doing for an EWS setup? Did you run a delete software or did you get the whole system? If so, where did you get the wiring diagram for it? I've been looking everywhere for a good diagram for the EWS III system.

EXCELLENT work by the way. Looks absolutely fantastic.

Holy freaking crap! This is far and away the cleanest and sexiest swap I've ever seen.:bow:

[BeirBrennerE30]

Very nice. How do you like the massive boosterless kit? I have one sitting here but haven't installed yet?

for anyone that thinks that $20k is over priced I recommend you try it. I am well over $20k with my s54 swap and I am doing most of the work myself.

Here we would be LUCKY to get the engine and trans for $10k. Awesome build Ryan and im sure a great sense of satisfaction.

[e30s50dan]

I'd take that over an e46 any day. Speechless!!

[M3 Ryan]
