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!

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

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

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.

if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

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 anymorebreakermart wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:51 pmCan somebody explain to me how I can get my pictures to show that are on photo bucket.
