E30 M3 with S54
We've been through a few motors in the m3 over the years, most recently running a euro s50b32 making decent power until it finally let go on us at Homestead last year. So I used that as an excuse to drop in an e46 m3 s54 engine, which presents a long list of challenges to try to make a modern engine work in a 20+ year old body.
With the help of James at Bimmerworld for the swap and electronics and Randy Mueller at Epic Motorsports for the tuning, we just wrapped it up and made 326whp this morning. Should be fun and a handfull on track in a 2600lb car.
A few pics for you guys...

No recent videos but I'll make sure to get some with the GoPro and the new motor in a couple weeks when we're at Sebring.

Outstanding swap…first s54 powered E30 M3 i've seen. Curious, besides the challenge of mating the electronics, what were some of the other major hurdles you had to overcome.
