Hi all, I'm considering selling my 1997 BMW E36 M3 that's s54 swapped. It also 6 spd swapped. The car is a complete riot to drive however, I must make room in the garage because of my new project car.I purchased the car from someone that owned it for 5 years. He bought the car roughly under 200k so he's put majority of the miles on the car. The previous owner of my car is very well known in the Maryland area. He has his own shop and does some nice builds. He bought the car originally as an auto. He then 6 speed swapped it, and converted the interior from dove grey to black. During his ownership, he gathered all the parts to s54 swap the car and he did it. He enjoyed the car after swapping it and sold it to me.
S54 swapped along with a 6 speed manual transmission.
