Yes, OEM headlights blacked out with LED angel eyes, and 3000K hid bulbs.

Good lord. I love it. What engine do you plan on putting in? Can't wait to see what you do with this project.

What's the significance of Merlin Purple? Is that a famous color? Technoviolet is the only purple BMW color I'm familiar with.

Merlin purple is an Audi color, I just love the color.

I'll either be doing an LS swap or a N54 with upgraded turbo. I thought about doing another S65 but I wasn't too satisfied when I had a S65 with the ESS 625 supercharger kit.

Cool. I feel like I have been drawn to the darkside lately with daydreams of an E36 M3 + LS. My first choice was an S54 swap, but damn... some people in my life have made a good case for the LS as of lately. Your wagon would be a beast with that thing in it.

On another note, I am curious to know what was dissatisfying about your previous S65 experience. I only ask because I have never loved a freakin' engine like I love this one. It makes me smile even just thinking about driving my car right now lol.

Any which way this is going to be a great build. I look forward to the progress!

I'm probably going to get lots of shit for saying this but S65 produces no torque at all, reminds me of my Honda days, power only kicks in at top end or when VTEC kicks in lol. So great motor for the track I suppose or in a lighter car? I think it's a great swap for the E46. I do miss the sound of my IPE innotech exhaust and the supercharger though.

Me and the wife just bought an 09 E91 last month and I sooooo want to do a M3 facelift to it. Did you add the rear quarter panel as well or was that just flared out? Makes me want to do it so much more looking at yours. She even wants to do it in purple too, but she's looking at the Porsche Violet purple
