Body:
1997 M3 Sedan. Alpine white exterior with Black leather interior. 143,XXX chassis miles. 

Engine:
The previous owner spared no expense for this car. It previously had a VAC built S52 with an AA twin screw super charger coupled with a built auto trans.

This was removed and replaced with an S54B32 from a 2004 M3 with 42,000 miles. We pulled the VIN number to confirm factory maintenance. The rod bearing recall was performed at 21,000 miles along with new fuel injectors. It was also from an SMG car so there is no chance for a misshift. Perfect candidate for our swap. 

S54B32-- 3.2liter inline 6 cylinder motor. Dual vanos. Dual oil pick up. Oil cooler. 6 individual throttle bodies. 8,000 rpm redline on factory tune. 333hp factory. 

This engine is running off the factory MSS54 ECU. The car is equipped with an e46 electronic gas pedal for precise petal modulation. The car had EWS flashed out during the tune to make it comparable with the e36 chassis. Secondary O2s and the secondary airpump injection system were also flashed out. 

When the engine was out, the oil filter housing gasket was replaced as preventative maintenance. The O-rings for the oil cooler lines were also replaced. The car is using the 335i oil cooler mounted to the bottom of the radiator. 

E46 remote coolant expansion tank and mounting bracket. Self bleeding, a huge plus if you've ever worked on a typical e36 cooling system. 

The S54 has CSL replica headers, professionally touched up with a tig welder by KG Made in Marietta. These headers are beautiful! 

All fluids are brand new including Red Line synthetic 10w-60 motor oil, Genuine BMW blue coolant, and power steering fluid. 

All belts are new. 

The engine currently has an 8,300 rpm redline. 

The engine runs on 5bar of fuel pressure utilizing an e46 fuel filter and pressure regulator system. 

Currently no cruise control or windshield washer jets (can retrofit). 

Exhaust:

Custom CSL replica headers (professionally touched up by KG Made), custom midsection with X-pipe (by Performance Muffler of Norcross), all mated to a like new Active Autoworks cat back exhaust. Warning: the exhaust currently does not have catalytic converters or resonators. It is very quiet and drives very nice but please make sure you obey all traffic laws in your area. Contact me to discuss in more detail. Thanks. 

Transmission:

Originally an automatic, converted to a 5 speed during the S54 conversion. 

55,000 mile ZF trans from a 98 M3.

Brakes:

ABS functions properly and stops very straight with no issues. 

Interior:
