E9x M3 DCT Donor

[amg6975]

Looking for a mostly complete E90, E92, or E93 M3 with DCT to use as a donor for a swap project. Ideally in the Northeast, and with 80k miles or less. I basically need the engine, trans, subframes, diff, rear suspension, wire harnesses, and a few of the computers. I'd rather just buy a whole car so I don't have to buy little bits and pieces as I find I need them.

Let me know if you have anything laying around! Cash in hand and willing to pick up any time.

Bought one at auction, thanks anyway.

Curious as to what your project looks like. I am embarking on an a 1M conversion with S65 swap and currently looking for exactly what you originally posted.

Do you have a thread going of your current project?

You should call M Parts worldwide. They are located in Midland Park, NJ. They take salvaged M cars and part them out. Maybe they could help you find something.

Yes I have what I hope will continue to be a very detailed build thread on another forum. Same username, you should be able to find it. Basically I'm building a stock body 1 series track car with all the M3 running gear and as much weight removed as I possibly can.

This is not for the faint of heart. You'll have to completely disassemble the two cars and put them back together with a mismatch of parts. I'm doing the wiring on mine right now and really can't recommend doing it if you don't have a very good understanding of how the E89 platform works. I'm going to try to document as much of the wiring gotchas as I possibly can but there are a ton.

Assuming you are using the wiring harness from the e9x correct to reduce splicing wires, maintain functioning pcm, etc?

Short answer is, kinda. Long answer is that it isn’t nearly that easy. I’m hopefully going to finish the wiring tonight or tomorrow but I’ll have 100 hours in the wiring, easy. My build thread does/will explain it way better. Most of the body wiring has to come from the 1 series, most of the engine bay wiring has to come from the M3.
