Believe it or not, it has 185,000 miles on it. Previous owner did a lot of work on it, including some paintwork. It looks like the paint was done right. I will be doing a complete detail including engine bay after the swap is done.
I've always had a soft spot for those cars....especially when they are as pristine and well maintained as this one. Excellent work my friend.
The car is now running! :headbang: Just need to get the exhaust finished up and some other small stuff.
thanks for bringing this beautiful piece of Bavarian engineering to its proper glory mate, looks great! I'm green with envy looking at your m3, honestly
Somethings fishyy! The before shot has an I6 and the after has a V8. PS: I saw the post earlier about the swap, you should post some driving videos if you havent already.
Thanks guys! The engine bay still needs some cleaning up. I will be working on cleaning up the wiring mess, but functionally it is fine. Here is a quick vid, before I detailed it ; ) BMW E36 with LS1 T56‏ - YouTube
