Hennarot S50B32 M3 consumes my spare time

[Eric]

A little bit of autocrossing this weekend. This car is SOOOO much different than the E28! The Z3 steering rack is so fast, and the car transitions so fast, I actually ran straight over a cone after I miss judged how quickly this thing changes direction.

That is a hole paintless dent repairmen drill to insert their rods into inaccessble areas in order to pop dents back out. I find it really strange they cure one problem by creating another potentially more serious problem.

Good to know, thanks! I'll probably find a grommet to keep water/moisture out. What a dumb way to do that especially since the side interior panel is SOOOOO easy to remove!

Amazing thread thus far!

Looks great Eric, can't wait to see it. Help me put the sedan's motor in mine!

Swap it into your m3? Does yours have a US S50 in it right now?

[shameson]

Excited to see where this goes

[Eric]

Are you swapping the s50 for something else?

No, Adam and I were talking about my e30 sedan. Sorry if that was confusing!

Definetly dude, I'm going to make a for sale add once I remove the motor, but it should be a direct swap besides the booster, and bashing the firewall a little bit for header clearance. Most "$500 S50 swap" believers will be turned off by the price though...

Some oddities I noticed when really looking the car over.

This hole is not on the drivers side.

Great find and nice to see you back in an M car! Going back to S14?? And those Sport wheels look awesome.

I honestly don't think the balance is ruined at all with the S50 motor. The car is quite fun to drive + has low end torque for thumping around town.

Now building an S14 powered 2002 with my sons when they get a bit older, that'd be an awesome experience!


New tires were mounted today.

Super cool Eric, I for sure want to check it out in person!! ;D

My E30 v2.0

Do the centercaps match in color finally? We went through almost 2 complete sets of OE Nogaro wheels a few years back and could never get the factory caps to match the wheels in color.



Enjoy the new car.

Thanks Chris, the centers look pretty close, but to be honest, I haven't even opened up all the boxes yet!

How's the vsr composite program developing? Will I be able to buy a hood + M1 vent someday?
