Awesome man,

Wish we were part of the build. Can you do / point us to a write up somewhere, I would dig to read up on this one.

What did you use, M60 or M62, particularly the electronics, how much of the goods are backward compatible, and what did you have to swap ?

Motor plus all wiring and computer boxes was swapped--- Clocks, power windows, central locking, Steering colum, steering wheel from the e90..... basically the old wiring harness was ripped out and the e92 one was installed. Im running the S65 motor + the manual 6 speed box with modified prop.

Its in now to get the diff sorted we fitting the whole M3 E46 Back suspension to my car hope its going to work :dunno:

Hey Lukas, nice of you to join us on BMWFanatics. Was wondering when you would stray off E46Fanatics and join us....
Alot of the community here don't know about your build thread on E46Fanatics. Post up the link.

I visited Boetie alot during the build of your car and saw that brand new rear ender E92 M3. You still had to run the engine in it was so few km, you scored bigtime in a way.

M3 rear subframe and suspension is the way to go with that power.

Well what can I say what a difference from open diff to a LS.They have installed the E46 m3 rear Sub and suspension and WOW she launches of the line much much better now. The diff ratio is a bit longer now as what Im use to but for now I love it. In six gear doing 165 se revs exactly 4000 rpm. Im very happy should have done it from the beginning :)
