BMW. If you get tired of the M3 configuration, LSx it.

That's the plan, immediate lsx swap. I've had too many m/s52/50 powered cars.

I chose the BMW just because I think it would be cool as shit.

Gotta find a roller first. But I did find this real m3 for $3.5k in Tulsa, could probably get him down to $3.

That's the way I'm leaning the more I think about it. I could fab mounts, no need for $2k swap headers if I go turbo. So I'm looking at complete 4.8, t56/FW clutch and hydraulics and then the turbo kit.

What's total budget for this mess?

Ruined stance and OMG that wing

2 or 3.

3 would cost more.

i want to do this with an fd RX7 one day. similar drive train as what you listed but possibly no turbo.

BMW. I was JUST cruising CL looking for a clean 3 series sedan to do a 5.3 swap into.

I’d like to keep it under $14-15k, but I’m going to strive to do it for $10k.

I agree! Needs ground control track school coilovers, to be corner weighted and lose the MAshaw wing.

True, 240’s are crazy expensive now that I looked. Maybe Tyler will come in here and talk about his swap car. I don’t think he built it and it’s a different chassis, but he may have some insight on lsx swaps in general.

Let’s do this!
