why....is she getting supercharged?

Matt@AUTOcouture · 07-11-2013, 08:37 AM

That "not-so-stock 318ti" we posted earlier is packing an S54 and 6MT from an E46 M3. Huge shout out to our friend Garret for removing the old engine, picking the new one up from over 300 miles away and installing it all on his own. Not to mention a complete suspension overhaul including an entire Z3M Roadster rear (subframe, arms and diff). All of which was done on his back, in his garage since late February. Bravo, sir. (Don't mind the wiring and lack of panels, it is still a work in progress.)

How much of a drop was the lowering and how is the ride. I am thinking about those for my E90 M3.
