The Build
Overview
Offering considerably more power than it did with its original fuel-sipping ‘Eta’ engine, this E30 325e is powered by a properly built S54 from an E46 M3. The engine has been bored out slightly to displace 3.28 liters, and custom higher compression pistons have been fitted along with high lift cams to create a bit more power and give it a more eager demeanor. An extensive list of worthy upgrades have been fitted to this E30 to take it to the next level, and we are confident that it all comes together in a magical way on the backroads.
