The Build
Overview
Sporting a high-revving S54 engine from an E46 M3 and manual Vader seats, this E36 M3 checks all the right boxes. It has seen a long list of maintenance to keep it running strong including rod bearings, VANOS, a Euro cooling system, new A/C, and the front subframe has been reinforced for peace of mind. While this example may have logged some miles, it looks to be one of the cleaner examples we have seen in recent months and we would love to give it a go.
