No update, I've been working on this:

The LSM3 is a long term project. My goal right now is to get the M62 car sold so I can have more room and time to focus on the M3.

Update????

Custom solid engine mounts. Custom long tubes + full exhaust, custom trans mount.

I'd like to see pic of this if you ever get around to going under..:)

S62>ls3/5/7

I'm going to strongly disagree. Sure, maybe in terms of tech but not in packaging and performance. LS is smaller, lighter and capable of much more.

Was this custom or did they use a kit like sikky?

Price stays between the seller and I.

Suspension:
Ground control coils with Koni adjustables and GC camber plates. Strut towers also brought up 1/2" for additional negative camber.

Blake - You have the right to your opinion. IMO there is a difference between a sloppily LS swapped car you see driving to work everyday and a properly LS swapped M3. There is a reason so many people LS swap - big power in a little package. In the mean time I'll be over here enjoying a 400whp m3.

I'm in no way shape or form a purist.. And it doesn't even bother me that it's not a BMW motor. I just have a grudge against LS swaps in cars that have so much soul and come from manufacturers that actually make good engines. Its just a soul-less engine, and doesn't do anything for me.

While I'll agree it's better (more interesting?) than an S5x, it's just these motors are crammed in every make and model from ford to bmw to mazdas and nissans.. its very underwhelming when you show up at car show and it's like LS fest. Yea they make good power but your car sounds like a truck and has the same engine as the high school senior ricer kid with the 240sx that lives two blocks from me.

I'm game for the m62 swap. And if i can figure out a way to talk this guy down on a 20B 3-rotor I'd like to start on that journey next.

any details on the suspension

[Pootis]

I would love to know what you picked it up for. This is going to be awesome

[DIIRTY-30]

This brought a big ass smile to my face. This combo is what dreams are made of.

[CMart]

I'd guess next weekend.

[straight6pwr]

yeah, I need a ride before it disappears. when is the m3 going to hit your garage?

[CMart]

It will be hard when it IS running and snow is falling.

Shoot me a text in the next few weeks. You still haven't seen the M62 car.

[straight6pwr]

i would have a hard time buying an e30 m3 and not being able to drive it bat shit insane fast the day i bought it.

looks like it will be a great project!
