E46 M3 GTR Street Car - Build Thread

[Fordkoppie]

Using a S65 is "close" to the pure race engine as us mortals can get.

Nothing wrong with that. And I can't wait to see the end result of this project. It will be awesome if your Norcal CSL build was anything to go by

To keep the project moving along, wife gave me the OK to work on the car after work as long as I am home by 5 to take over watch the little one. At any rate I was cleaning the donor car and know more about who owned than I should. I can confirm the car did go through a building wall. As you will see from the pictures there is dry wall and insulation in the car. Hopefully everyone was ok when it happened.

Made a new friend on the drives and found out he is a BMW tech for Performance Motor Works. Funny part was I used to use Performance until I was told they were gone. Now I find out there are still there and can also do CSL ECU flashes for E46 M3 guys. Long story short I am glad I have my old service shop back as well a new friend who made getting the motor out WAY easier.

Here is how to remove a S65 out of an E90.

Including front axle....good idea, makes it much easier!

OK So the updates have taken a while to get done, sorry about that. With the help of some M3 forum members we have completely stripped down the E90 M3 to just its shell. We also started a little on the E46 to being that tear down and prep. The M3 sadly is in VERY bad shape, more so than I thought. Hopefully it is not so bad I can still use it.

Why oh why did they wrap that poor e46?!
Looks like the 2nd and 3rd owners didn't take the greatest of care of that car!

Epic build in the wings though mate! All the best with it! raise:

Subbed!

Look at what Mr FedExaclause dropped off for me to take over to the shop. Large box with fragile written all over it. I wonder what it could be.....
