exactly where my last update left off from.....

Pfff.. Don't know where you got the motivation & energy from to go to such an extent just to roll in a look a like M3 but it's sure worthy of an applause! Amazing work & congrats on a pretty much perfect replica!

Nope, nearly there though

i got the motivation from the price of a genuine m3 lol. too expensive for my budget. I think il hang onto it for now as I was merely asking what people valued it at. looking back through the pics I forget just how much work and time has gone into it upto now. it would be easy to just say goodbye to it but it isn't hurting anyone or thing just sitting in storage for now. maybe once its finished and iv drove it for a wile it might get sold. SORRY GUYS

In a way I'm glad you're keeping it, I've still got my own M3 rep to finish

Hope you get some time/funds to compete it, would be a shame to sell after putting so much effort into it

Keep at it

cheers mate, my time and money is being sucked up by my e46 330ci at the moment, bloody gearbox issues lol

Sun Mar 01, 2015 9:56 pm

Shoddy E46's, cant go wrong with E30's

Mon Mar 02, 2015 10:30 pm

this is true, e30 is a robust quality machine. e46 is a temprimental quality machine. 2 completely different leagues of car there. but mad for them both

Mon Mar 02, 2015 11:06 pm

Gave you some stick for this a while back but hats off to you, you've done really well there. Well done

Tue Mar 03, 2015 8:27 pm

just an update for you all, there is no update, the car is still sat in the back of a curtain side trailer in a hidden location protected from the elements lol. but regardless of the lack of work on it. its not going anywhere

Sun Sep 04, 2016 8:21 pm

you and me both cypriotgeeza, im having the engine in bits and rebuilding it totaly as i want it to be a strong engine with plenty of life in it. iv swapped my e46 330ci convertible for it so it needs to be good

should up the value and standard of my m3 rep massivly,

Sun Sep 04, 2016 8:30 pm

if anyone reading this has a link to anywhere showing info on putting the S3 AC Schnitzer engine into an E30 then please share as im finding it to have very limited info on doing this

Tue Sep 13, 2016 10:37 am

iv done a bit more research on this engine and it turns out its the 1990 e36 3.0 s3 engine, based on the M50B25 engine. removed from a wide body AC schnitzer e36 s3 thats still all good though, iv got every single bit of it, just going to rebuild it with new rings bearings and anything else i can replace. pics to follow, oh and its a billet crank, the cams are schrick or however its spelt. im sure theres more goodies

Tue Sep 13, 2016 6:47 pm

that looks like a lump & a half lol,

as for fitting it, have a word with danthe, as i'm sure it would be the same as fitting his alpina lump.

Tue Sep 13, 2016 9:13 pm

Nice find!

But where are the rest of the pics?!!

Tue Sep 13, 2016 9:16 pm

Epic crank action! I have many wants

Tue Sep 13, 2016 9:53 pm

cheers guys, yeah its a good lump. more pics will be posted as i dig more of the engine out and build it. information just isnt out there for these engine, i challenge anyone to find anything other than the output information and some engine bay pics. so bloody rare. iv spent hours scouring the web. maybe if i could read german id find out a bit more.

Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:50 pm

Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:51 pm

I think you might need to reactivate your account on there...I remember there was something going on whereby you had to pay to be able to use it but it's been so long since I went on there I'm not sure anymore
