Looks good buddy!

Am I missing something here? OP said the motor was from a 95 M3. Which would mean that the motor is an S50. Not an S52. And it wouldn't have been swapped to OBDI because it would have already been running that.

+1 Still great starting point, congratz!

I don't want to be the doubter here, but can we get some engine bay pics or pics of said m roadster..... just so we can take you seriously and we don't have to speculate whether you are actually this kid.

pics of the said 95 S50 motor converted to OBDI ?

get rid of the lights and those horrid rims, put something classy on it

It's certainly clean, but with those lights, wheels, fog deletes, and no lip it looks horrid imo.

Engine Clarification, Pics & Roadster Pics

Dear Erudite e30ians-

I miss-spoke on the date of the donor car, it's from an 1998. It is S52 3.2 with OBD1. My mechanic has set it with 1995 air box and manifold to make the referee happy. My apologies. Good call on the pick-up.

The fog lights are a little screwy and by now I can perceive a slight dislike for the lights. We'll work on those. The wheels I love, I think it gives it a nice sharp and clean lines look. Better wheels can be had, but you can't spend all your money at once, plus, why look like ever other e30? btw, the body is a 10/10 with new paint, interior 9/10-but I do plan on re-upholstering front and back seats.

Pics below show the e30 engine and my 2001 M Roadster (yes, I know you know that means S54)-sapphire black and Dinan stage 3

I thought the Stage 3 stuff came with a blower?
