2003 BMW 330i 'S54 Swap'

Overview

Benefitting from a full E46 M3 drivetrain swap, this 330i is the ultimate sedan BMW should have built. A beefier clutch and upgraded differential have been fitted to put the power down properly, and more capable brakes have been installed for more consistent braking. The rod bearings, VANOS, and subframe reinforcement have been taken care of, and it sports a custom single exit exhaust to let the high-revving S54 motor be heard. While this chassis has accumulated some miles, the drivetrain has logged 140k miles and it has seen a significant amount of documented maintenance.

    Reported Accidents
    One or more accidents have been found on record 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).
