I would go for a M50B25 to make the worlds most reliable e46 m3
So many people have told me this hahahah, even better is there is an m50 sitting in my driveway right now?
@@m3nameisjosh464 m50nv with m54b30 bottom end and a turbo would be killer
The e46 m3 convertible with a hard top reminds me of the bmw 3.0 csi. It’s like a timeless classic look
Love to see what you do with this build! The S54 looks intimidating to dissemble, but trust me it's not that bad. The first engine I ever touched and rebuild was my S54. Only thing painful was the cost of the rebuild and trying to understand the assembly of the VANOS unit. Other than that, it'll be a fun, straightforward rebuild, and really rewarding once you're done 👍
Geepers! That’s nasty! New engine big profit! Good luck! Cheers, George
no matter how broken it is is an M3 and its frewaking beautiful wish i had even a broken one
Awesome build! Unrelated, but an e46 330i touring project in the future would be awesome
What a beauty my dream is to own the two best M's and i already have the e36 M3 but the e46 is something else just perfect
I have an S54 timing bridge and balancer pin from a recent rebuild if you decide on tearing into one, let me know if you need it, I can send it your way!
Hello, in this condition, at what price did you buy it, if there is no secret?
rod bearings or vanos for sure but leaning towards rod bearings with the towing statement
Hey nice wheels setup, cosindering about squared setup myself, what tyre measurement here?
Josh, I own 2 verts. The s54 sound with the top down sold me. Personally, is never want a coupe for that reason. Honestly, I dont know where the car finds all the grip and chassis torsional rigidity. Best car I've ever owned so I did it twice 😂 gl with your purchase my dude, beautiful spec
Love my vert! Got it for a steal…verts are the best kept secret 😉…where are you located?
Not sure where you're located, but we have an S54 with manual trans available. We're about an hour west of Philly.
A beautiful machine 👍
Very expensive to repair or replace SMG box
My mate had a same as this
He's SMG failed on it
Wow
swap it! also, definitely keep those itb’s if they’re intact
bluetooth rods and engine breathing holes means less weight, more air intake, and more power 🤪🤪
"no I didn't get a shell". Proceeds to show how it's worse, because at least a shell you won't have to remove the paper weight 😂
Having finished this i agree it was worse🤣 but at least I had parts off engine
Nice! Here in philly, people try to sell their fucked up projects for $10k plus lol I need to take a trip to your area and see what you mean by cheap
Luckyli the rods always blow through the block downwards,, not upwards.
There’s a video on CZcams, from UK. Same story. They’ve rebuilt that engine, got a new block. But you can pick up a good used engine, a couple for sale on marketplace right now, you can get one for about $4K. Block is iron.
That’s a bargain. I never come across anything cheap for my m3, always have to pay a lot. And my piece of crap car was a lot too. Tires is gorgeous. And you probably paid ten bucks for it.
bro how have your folks not kicked you out yet lol parents of the year award goes to! haha jk. side note bro! just bought my first e92 m3 clean ca title 99k miles! spacegrey over novillo black! its so sick! nothing broken! nice m3 josh love the cinnamon
Tell me about it!! Hahahah. But man nicee e92 M3 is still on my want list!!
I picked up an 89,000 mile 6 speed e46 m3 for $1500 it needed both cam position censors and a tps and it runs very satisfied with my purchase
@@ferrisbuellers it was an old lady that was moving and didnt want to deal with it it was also non running at the time
Finnally
Will the merch have word wide shipping?
I am trying to work on that, it’s possible but shipping rate will be expensive
he downshifted a rod to the floor nice car tho
if it’s clean title my man just swap in an another s54 and get that shit goneee
Non vanos
Nu vecīt salons ir vienkārši seks.
That project is going to make you hate BMW’s until it’s done lol. Gooood fuckin luck my guy 😂😬
I typically try to avoid watching dream car content but seeing an s54 chuck a rod is intriguing
Hahaha thank you for watching
