2003 BMW 325i Touring 'S54 Swap'

Listed for $35,000Sold
2003 BMW 325i Touring 'S54 Swap'

Overview

Sporting a high-revving S54 engine and six-speed gearbox from an E46 M3, this E46 325i Touring forgoes some of the M3 design elements to help it fly under the radar. The subframes and control arms have all been swapped for more capable M3 hardware, and an AP Racing big brake kit has been employed up front to make it a well-rounded performer. A single-exit Corsa exhaust adds more music out the back while reducing pumping losses, while handsome Recaro Sportster GT seats and Apex ARC-8 wheels help finish the look.
