Wow...awesome build there, like the way you guys did the e46 cluster mod
Big ups to you Jared :thumbs:

germantechnik, is the cluster there out of necessity so that the DME is happy?

yes it is. rpm and engine coolant temp. are distributed via can bus to the cluster. it is essential. and now you know why those clusters are so expensive. stuff is not sent by hard wire like the older cars, from e46 onwards the tec is very advanced...

My Mac in Durbs has done a few of these s54 conv on e30s, I also know Carlab in ct does some crazy stuff too currently building an N54 e30 :joy:

Hey,next time you make a turn by that Workshop take some pics and invite the owners of these Projects to our Forum.I'm shure they got a lot of knowledge to share.N54 in an E30 sounds crazy aswell as the other projects

Dikjoe on the forum is part of that project....he's hardly online nowadays though, he needs to come back and shed some info on all their cars, one of the s54 e30s from Durbs was up in ct not so long ago

Went to Jarred’s workshop today, to book in my “new” blue 540i for some more work!
Only to find this in the parking area :rollsmile:



An E36 M3 with an E46 M3 motor




E46 clocks in the E36 dash



Nice



Hmmm I am thinking, I’ve got a spare BMW V8 and 5 speed manual I was going to put into the silver E34 auto, but now that Mom and Dad are going to use it, it has to stay an auto.:fencelook:
V8 into a E36 or E30 hmm or a Lotus Super 7 – no scrap last one I won’t fit:biglol:

what a sleeper:inlove:

No disrespect guys but how is a E36 M3 with a E46 motor a Sleeper?
its only gone from around 215KW to about 260KW?

A 318 with standard kit and a M3 motor is a sleeper.
Or that Getz with a turbo. Not a M3. Just my opinion. LOL


A sleeper (US English) is a car that has high performance and an unassuming exterior. Sleeper cars are termed such because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car. In some cases the car appears worse due to seeming neglect on the owner's part, typically referred to as "all go and no show". While appearing to be a standard or neglected car, internally they are modified to perform at higher performance levels

I thought the same thing but didn't want to say anything to offend the op. the money spent to get the differene in power could've been better spent on modding the S50 motor.....

guys, the owner of the M3 has a MINT turbo 325is, C63 (highly modded).. range rover sport, etc ...

he let Jarred do this M3 build just purely out of the love for cars and fiddling with them .. maybe not such a big gain for the money .. but surely is fun ;) .. and a S54 in a significantly lighter car is quite a thing as well as being unsuspecting to the next guy who wants to race him ;) so come on .. its quite a cool hat trick in my opinion ..

@rory .. it does have part of the original DSC system wired in .. because the MSS54 DME has some limits based on vehicle speed that it gets from its DSC ..

:)
