1999 BMW 328i 'S54 Swap'

Correcting the mistake that BMW made in not building an E46 M3 sedan, this example features the best bits from BMW’s parts bins. Starting life as a slicktop 328i, a rev-happy S54 motor has been swapped in for more fun, an E93 M5 clutch has been employed to handle the power, and a ZHP steering rack has been fitted for more playful steering. This example was involved in a bruiser which should warrant a bit more scrutiny. Given a green light, we think this could provide great entertainment for the whole family.

    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.
