Guy's probably having too much fun running around in his twin supercharged, roller bearing'ed crank, M62 powered e46 to have time to post updates

Why not just call it a 340i instead of 344. The engine is out of a 540i?

Hi Guys I am starting a Little Project and this is what I plan to do.

I have a 2002 E46 Pre Facelift 328I Body is good rear sub-frame is cracked and torn from the chassis. Interior bad shape bought it for a Song.

I am buying a E39 540I 4.4 V8 Body and interior perfect engine only done 195000 gearbox faulty in safe mode.

I intend on ripping everything out of the e46 and transferring the whole 540 loom and electronics to the e46
I am also putting the 4.4 v8 in the e46 on a manual 6 speed gearbox and a Manual 540 I Diff.

I plan to upgrade the braking system to a Brembo Big Brake kit 17 Inch wheels

Suspension will get Bilstein adjustable coil overs

Modifeid 540 Rear subframe mounted to the e46 Body

A complete aftermarket Chassis Brace from the front of the suspension to the rear

I am fitting 2 Eaton Super chargers to the V8 Engine one for Each Bank Two throttle bodies two air mass meters two cold air intakes

After market engine management obviously

I plan to Flow the cylinder heads cam upgrades roller-bearing crank and con-rods etc etc

I will post pictures etc as I Progress with the Project and Obviously ask for Advice along the way..

i remember seeing a Blue E46 for sale with a 4.4l in it on gumtree. Somewhere in athlone.. ( I THINK )

At this point he can call it whatever he wants, because we're never gonna see it anyway:biglol:

off topic.. but what happened to that e36 that was supposed to have modern tech like blind spot monitoring and all that, if I recall correctly the member wanted to make an f30 tech'd e36 :hammerhead:

I think the guy stopped updating his thread... Probably because of the negativity on the forum, and not at all because it was a stupid idea.:roflol:

I heard that he has sensors for shocks, control arms and even control arm bushes!

He probably pulled it off 100%, but now wants to retain the "how to" for himself
