More E30 M3 + S54 talk
by JB0352
I thought i’d share a couple pics of a swap that was done a little while ago. This an E30 M3 with S54 in it using the factory ECU.
This looks so damn clean, right? I thought that the plastic would be too much for the E30 engine bay but am now having second thoughts. I’ve noticed that they also painted the reservoirs black. Normally I’d think that was weird but it completes this look very nicely. It doesn’t make checking the fluid levels any easier, but it looks damn good.
For those of you that are not familiar with this engine, it came in the BMW E46 M3 (2001-2006) and a few other cars. It’s another high revving (8k rpms) 3.2L six cylinder that without the crappy US cats, puts out about 340hp.
If you haven't already figured it out, my name is Joey and this site is dedicated to my 1989 E30 M3. I've owned an E30 since 1995 and absolutely adore the body style. Not only will I share photos and video from different events that I attend, but I'll also keep everyone updated on my project cars. 
Thats the cleanest swap I have seen so far into an e30 m3.
+1. Cleanest swap ever. I’m amazed you can fit the fan between the s54 and the radiator.
I know right!
The fan has to be millimeters from that Rad. Hopefully he has some strong motor mounts
gorgeous, any pictures of the exterior? that fan placement is perfect, and quite amazing
