1997 BMW M3 'S54 Swap'

Borrowing from the best BMW parts bins, this E36 M3 build stays true to the brand with a high-revving S54 motor out of a E46 M3. The motor features new rod bearings and some supporting hardware from the E36/8 Z3M parts bin, which shared similar underpinnings but included the legendary S54 in its last two years of production. This example has quite a few miles on the clock, but the drivetrain swap was relatively recent. It is a driver through and through, and we imagine it is an absolute delight on the backroads.

    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.
