That does not look like the Earl I know

I've never seen him wearing a shirt without a cat on it, must be on the back.

M3rry Christmas to me!

Yes, the hood matches, the whole top of the car is just dirty from the transport truck. Under the hood looks OK though.

Im really excited to ride in this!

That's pretty awesome!  Now you can stop complaining about not having an LS car.

You'll have to let us know which car feels more balanced/fun to drive. LS m3 or supercharged m3

Completely different animals. The torque of the LS1 is awesome. I think that overall, the LS car feels better in most ways. Definitely seems quicker.

Understand, weight difference between the two motors can't be thaaaat different right?

Gonna need them both on the strip to tell though Snap's proposed drag strip wars need to happen for sure next year.

You still owe me a 10 second car

I think all said and done, the swap only ads about 30lbs. The engine sits much further back, so the balance is improved. Cool rainy weather doesn't make for good testing...traction is a serious issue in the wet.

How you just stumble across an extremely clean M3 saloon with an LS motor baffles me. I am trying my hardest to step up my M3 game only to find out that I am still playing in the little leagues. Congrats man!

[Earl]

I see they relocated the ABS pump too. Some proper time has been taken putting that LS in with factory fit and finish=)

[wasnt m3]

Everything, literally everything works. All warning lights, gauges, abs, obd2 plug, etc works like it's all factory. Even the e46 m3 seats that were retrofitted have all power functions and heat working.
