E30 M3 S54 Swap Complete! Lots of details..

[87e30]

I think you could get it down to ~$15,000 but that's a lot of YOU doing shit.

The motor/trnas sell for like 5gs. I just don't see where the other 15 grand comes from... if someone were to sell wiring kits for a few grand I think it would be a 10k swap.

[ACHTUNG]

did you fund this build by selling one meeeellion splitters?

[ck_taft325is]

So is this really a 20k swap? In the next few years you think it wil be ~10k?

20k you can buy an entire e46 m3...

You guys crack me up....
I appreciate all the feedback!! The car was a lot of work but it's so worth it. Now that I'm starting my new shop I probably won't have much time to play with this so I'm glad its finished and I can enjoy driving it. First place car was a JOKE... E46 330i Purple with CHROME brake Calipers and stereo crap everywhere... quite a shame....

There ARE vids!!!!!
Exhaust in the shop...

Very nicely done, I deff need this swap in my life.

[DRTSRFR]

EVERYTHING is custom fabbed. I don"t think most of us could afford it.

In his previous post he quoted 20k for the swap

[blacksport325]

jesus, thats one awesome car.

[Supadave]

I wonder if this will become the next thing for E30's.

[DRTSRFR]

Took a ride in it last week...

You know Ryan, he does it right!

Tall mounts are installed, but he's running 4" eleventymillion pound springs back there.

The first place car was a PURPLE, or something near, E46 FTL.

Ryan doesn't drive it, it just sits at his shop and models dust it every friday and monday.

[dude8383]

So which tracks are you going to hit up? This thing is almost TOO pretty to track!!!

[Jean]

Ryan - sick! I can't wait to see it at bbq! You NEED tall RSM's, they keep the short rear springs in their place too!
