and you should get around 450 bhp. More than what the E46 S54 engine would produce.

You biggest problem then would be traction and everything trying to hold itself together (c:

Oh BTW, when you get the S50 engine, make sure you upgrade the clutch, brakes and get LSD. An M3 rear end would be perfect.

yeah. thats gonna be the fun bit. can u get e46 m3 power out of that motor with a bit of tweaking? god, if i could find an M3R motor that could be more fun too. and change the diff ratio too.

You'll leave the other cars for dead (c:

I've got the 318i badge on my car, but my exhaust gives away that it's not a stock 318i.

I wonder if I can get a larger resinator.

Sooty Pooh!

hahahah. no. it will never be a true 'M'. even tho i have ///M stuff on it, most of it factory installed, some after i bought the car, it wont be a ///m. im getting a 318i badge for the back and shaping the exhaust so that it looks like i have a little pea shooter coming out the back.

hang out with us in this forum or will you chill with the big boys on the M3 board? ;)
