1995 BMW M3 'S54 Swap'

This E36 M3 has lapped Buttonwillow 13 CW in 1:57.047 thanks to a built S54 motor and a long list of track-worthy upgrades. A custom 50-row oil cooler and an upgraded radiator help keep it cool in demanding conditions. The rod bearings and main bearings have been replaced with more robust units, and the VANOS system has been addressed for peace of mind.

    Car history report

    Reported accidents are collisions that have been recorded by Carfax and AutoCheck through police reports or insurance claims. 

    Accidents usually aren’t deal-breakers, but they can affect the condition and value of the vehicle. We always recommend Carfax and AutoCheck reports followed by a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) - even if there are no accidents listed as some accidents go unreported.
