Lets discuss "the swap"

[cyberkaa]

Yeah, I'd expect ABS would keep working at the very least. I've got a few Mk60 and Mk20 DSC brains from both E46 M3s and non-M E46s and it would be interesting to see what the differences in the firmware are. So far, I know that both non-M Mk60 and Mk20 DSC work with MSS54. Using a Z4M DSC might not be a bad idea.

I'd believe it. They don't fit neatly into emissions laws, so those blanket requirements like restriction by model year are the easy way out.

hmmm... maybe not so much boost

Really been thinking about this lately. The way I see it, the swap will cost less than getting a different car I would want(car that I would even consider swapping my ZHP for). And with the swap, don't think I would want any other car.

I'd love to have that in my life. E46XiT's are so tempting to create.

Seems like this swap is becoming really popular among enthusiasts. Here is what I've seen this past Sunday at local BMWCCA event.
Oxford green over tan interior with complete m3 drivetrain.



Last year I met another guy who made a complete swap on his 323it. Car was gorgeous!

There was another interesting car at the event that you guys would appreciate.




It has transmission, engine, dash board and some suspension components from e39 m5. In addition, it was supercharged with VT1-560 I believe.

That oxford green wagon is legit

Crap. I hate reading threads like this. I want - nay, I need - an S54 coupe. Well, after my M3 is done.
