As a owner of BMW E36, I proudly declare that this is not a car, it's lovely love and soulful soul forever!

[@mateushroman]

My all time favorite car 🚙 E36 m3’s are very underrated but sitting in one now feels like a hit of nostalgia of a time when cars really had character.

[@e36.m345]

love the setup

[@reeserowan8837]

I just love everything about this car 😭🥹🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thatguyjef2402]

nice video , with the video layout and i prefer n/a build to get that normal car feeling XD

[@vice_105]

what is the size of those arc8s and the tires? looks good mate

[@moh2502]

Still prefer a S50B32 from a sound perspective, it's deep. S54 sounds too tinny, but none the less this is an awesome engine swop 👌

[@BMWarrior1]

beautiful build - what shifter do you have in it? E60 545?

[@TopherHax]

It's a combination of euro E36 linkage, UUC DSSR, and 6spd zhp shift knob.

[@BMWarrior1]

legend - fantastic work by the way, cars an absolute beast - cant wait to get my E36 build up and running@@TopherHax

[@micheletusi9057]

My dream car xD :/

[@DonBMW]

Take that Euro E36 M3’s. How many $ to do this conversion? Long time E36 Owner here and plan to do this also. However, my S52 is such a beast and so reliable.

[@fatoputso7375]

Same thoughts here. I put aside funds for the swap and I'm not entirely sure I want to move frwd. S52 is stout, great torque, sounds great and mr reliable

[@DonBMW]

Owned my 98 M3/4/5 for 12 years. Has been a great car. Starts at -20F and 120F. No major issues just standard maintenance. These engines can easily achieve 300k. However, the word is finally out and prices are climbing fast. Buy one now before it gets to crazy.

[@johntomsa777]

I bought the newest X4M, but my heart wants an E30 or E36 so bad!

[@edwinblankson4554]

Let’s swap then 😂

[@insansiregar6158]

What exhaus does this car have?

[@TopherHax]

Euro S54 headers, OEM E46 M3 section 1 and 2, ends in a stainless OBX muffler.

Is my dream beatifull oroginal car 36 and a s54 enjine....

[@VeiLofCognition]

how hard is the s54 swap to do ??.... honestly

[@TopherHax]

Mechanically it's simple once you have all the right parts. Electrically it can be a bit intimidating, even if you're used to doing wire harness work. You're merging an older analog system with a newer digital (CANbus) based system.

[@VeiLofCognition]

@@TopherHax i build computers and electronics and i dont want to mess with that LOL!! S52 with itbs it is LOL!

[@phiweq]

Too much of a show off...who has their front windows rolling up n down so smoothly😅
