E30 M3 S54 build and restoration.
As most of you know, I had a stock e30 M3 before..... Love it, but I wish it had more horsepower. It broke my heart to take the S14 to replace it with something else.
So I decided to sell it, and look for a new project. Something that needs a little bit of work, so I wouldn't feel bad doing what I wanted to do to it.
Long story short, I have a complete crashed e46 M3 sitting in my shop, So I was looking for a rolling chassis. Was hard to find one, but I finally found this car for sale on Craigslist. It has an s50 with 6speed transmission off of an e46 zhp. The seller told me it needs some work. So I pulled the trigger and purchased it. I knew it needs trims, moldings, and lots of TLC. The plan was to throw the S54 with 6 speed in it, change trims, do interior work, and give it a fresh pain job. Started the project, found out this needs a whole lot more than that. Needs new brake system, sandblast , interior/exterior paint job, suspension, and bushings. Pretty much everything except the shell has to be replaced. So far I took the s54 apart, getting it rebuild, 6 speed transmission with stage 3 clutch, brembo BBK, trying to get AST coilover Kit. As far as wheels got 17 x 9 square setup VOLK te37 sl.
The rest..... Will be continued.
The goal with this one is to be a street clean track toy.
The day I got it
