[@jonmikkelraun264]

335d swap it, put a solid m57 in there, some stage 3 turbo systems and some 50d injectors, dual r90 pumps. Drill out the coolant port from the back side of head make a coolant hose reach there, then you can make reliable 500hp+ with over 1000NM. Stock internals should be good to 500hp. Make sure the injectors are up to date since only flaw is they eating up the pistons. If you want you can try to put b57 pistons in m57 from 2022 pistons they are made of iron and not aluminium. they should fit direct in, make it more reliable at 500+ hp afterwards get a 8hp70, they cheap from 530d f10 in europe they cost around 900-1000 EUR. You can buy a plug an play kit for standalone TCU. And adapterplate. That setup will make it the top of the line diesel car. its should run easy 7-8 secs 100-200 KMH - even more achiveable.

Be nice to see an oem plus build. Improve the engine to address the issues, better than factory paint and generally make it the best m3 from the worst. Plain vanilla like a viewer could do to their own car

An alternative thought, how about getting the option pack for m3 when it was new and specking it exactly as you would have ordered it. All the options etc that you would have had maybe from scrap cars.

[@MrElectrify]

@@matt13ross Replace main bearings if you get another S65. #1 main bearing fails anywhere from 100-200k on what seems to be most cars, wiping out #1 rod bearing (mine spun as a result) and cracking the block in the process. Mine didn't even spin but it was melted and the block is cracked all the way up to the cylinder bores. So now I'm left with an almost-perfect but unusable engine that could've been saved...
