You gotta work at getting me a S54 first. How much do salvaged m3's go for these days? Seems like more and more people are doing the swap.

lol. Wrecked M3s can be had at very reasonable prices these days. $5k, give or take, but you have to be quick. Seems like a lot more people jumped on the bandwagon after I finished mine.

Yes and No... it does work a lot better with certain soaps though... but honestly the foam is just for show.. the water/soap mixture on the car does all the work.

Essentially it's just a good way to "presoak" your car to get all to loosen all the hard dirt on the car... if you have a good enough pressure washer it may get it clean enough just to rinse of with some DI water. But I would probably still wash mine after soaking it lol.

I see where would you go to buy these things? I have never bought a salvaged car before? 5k? Are the engine/other parts in decent condition? I want something with around 50k miles or less if I can.

I bascially want to swap the engine/tranny and rear subframe...... I should really read your thread.

Tomorrow, the fun begins.

Finally read your Swap thread Kalim..... if it was posted in the showroom I would have read it long ago.. hiding stuff in the general forum.. how dare you!

Pretty freaking epic though. It really makes me want to do one... but also makes me afraid of how much work/time it will take haha I might need to pay someone to do it. I only have one car.

I think it does make more sense for me to do this swap though than get a m3 coupe... I'm gonna start saving!

That thread took me 3 days to read through.

Copart and craigslist.

Yeah, have a read. You'll get a sense for what parts you need. The subframe swap was covered in a different thread, though there isn't much detail.
