1988 BMW M3 'S52 Swap'

Overview

Finished in BMW Merlot Red, this California BAR certified E30 M3 is powered by a S52 engine from an E36 M3 for some extra forward motivation. The ZF transmission was also borrowed from an E36 M3, and a Wilwood big brake kit has been fitted to keep the braking consistent in demanding conditions. Recaro front seats keep the front occupants planted in the curves, and the rear seats have been reupholstered to match.
