rturbo 930 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I think it's pretty stupid he bought a perfectly good E46 M3 just to basically ruin it for his project. But whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted June 29, 2010 Administrators Share Posted June 29, 2010 AWESOME! Beautiful work. Nice 4 door E46 M car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negligence Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I think it's pretty stupid he bought a perfectly good E46 M3 just to basically ruin it for his project. But whatever. Agreed....more of a 2 door fan...for that money he prob could have just bought the New 4 door m3 but to each his own, if thats what he loves, good for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xplosiveg06 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 iirc he did that because the conversion project would be less than half what it would cost to register the real m3 in his country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted June 29, 2010 Administrators Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hmmm... Guess that means because I bought a '97 M3 for the purpose of removing a perfectly good running S52 to install a Chebby, that must be stupid too.

No. The point is that normally someone would get a salvaged or wrecked car to act as a donor, not a flawless example in a rare color combo. Your car was not the donor, it was the swap victim. And personally, I don't like sedans. I'd have preferred the stock M3 coupe. Edited June 30, 2010 by rturbo 930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun723 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Seems like the roundabout way to do it but to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negligence Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) iirc he did that because the conversion project would be less than half what it would cost to register the real m3 in his country It must be a ton of money to register an m3 because there is no way that swap was cheap Yea, he said a new m3 (2008 model, still new body style) would be a ton of money He probably still could have gotten the same type of m3 he had bought in Germany and registered and done all the mods to that one and spend the same or less money than he did with the 4 door, but now im just over analyzing it Edited June 30, 2010 by Negligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says he did because of insurance costs, but I'm pretty sure he had other intentions in mind. Coming from an E46 sedan owner, I think it is kick ass, and if I had his $ and his friends, I would have done the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hey said in his post it would cost him 80,000kr (12,326.45 USD) per year to register the E46 M3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
