[@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.

[@Fastmatt613]

My man! Let's go! Get a used S65 upgrade the bearings again and let's get this thing back on the road! Let's also source a fox red interior and go superman spec!

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.

I’d take a stab at S55 swap It’ll fit, the M3 has more space in it than the base model that had the n55 More power, more tunable, more reliable

[@matt13ross]

Not a bad idea. But I just want to drive it lol

[@MrElectrify]

There are a few S65s for a pretty good price right now on eBay. Trust me, I blew mine up a few weeks ago...

[@matt13ross]

Can't say I'm surprised! I'd like on with a warranty.

[@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...
