For Sale (in Arizona AZ): BMW E46 M3 engine and wiring - $2500

[bullfrogs_M3]

Local guy here in Phoenix is selling his engine from his E46 M3. Just thought I would pass it along if anyone is interested.

I am sure it would be a hell of a fun project and car afterwards. And I would normally probably jump on something like this, but I am holding out for an E60 right now.

That's cheaper than a supercharger setup.

Yeah....but tune plus rest of power train....might make it close.

Well he has the entire rear end too. He said he would let most of the car go for $4500. Engine + rear end + misc (no tranny though)

Everytime I get the urge to do this (swap) I want to do it JUST LIKE THIS:

^^ Samir's old car.

He actually slapped a supercharger in that car. Never did an S54 swap. The car now lives in San Diego.

Jeremiah, would you go all the way and do the S54 swap, like Terry's?

Jeremiah, would you go all the way and do the S52 swap, like Terry's?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! If I ever did it, I would do it right, no messing around.

But I never will. The boy gets the ZHP in another 1.5 years and then I get the wifey's X5 4.8 and she is getting either an E60 (crosses fingers), 335i (automatic :cry ) or if I can talk her into it the new MB AMG C63 in White. That is one sexy ass MB. Not a big Merc fan, but damn if that isn't a badass looking car!

Big fan of the X5 4.8. How do you like it? What year?

You're dead to me.

rofl. I wouldn't sweat it Dane. She is seriously pressuring me into getting a 335i right NOW. I said I would but only if she gets the 335d. She doesn't like the sound of that right now. I said, "dammit woman, I want to tow a boat with that car!"

Personally, I freakin love that machine. Even with all the stupid crappy issues we have with it, ie: Airbag Suspension, it's the worst BMW invention EVAR!!! It's an 06, last of the E53 4.8is. Thing is fully loaded to the teeth as the previous owner was a dentist with kids. So he loaded it up and put in TV's etc...

But once I get my hands on it, I have a mod list just itching to get done on it. Suspension (KW V3's are my only option), 20" HRE 640's, Tint, Soundsystem, CF interior trim. I am already doing some things to it now. Like in a couple months when our airbag suspension goes out AGAIN, i'll be swapping it for the KW's. I would do wheels right now, but ummmm well, the wife and umm curbs..... and yea, nevermind on that.

Haha. Great. So you have the sport package. Nice. My friend has an X5 4.8. Loves it, too.
