Nice find on the M3!
I loved the RS4 on my E30 for autoX, but I did notice after about 20 min on track they started to get greasy. Same thing when I had an E46 M3. I imagine the heavier car works it that much harder. What’s next on the list for tires? I remember there was a point in time where bimmerworld sold gently used 18” slicks for a decent price, I’ve been tempted to try those.
Yikes, thats not good... Did it have oil pressure issues or shavings in the oil?
The oil pressure was ok minus the supply to the back 2 caps, both the bearing caps had the nuts that hold the caps on loose. I haven’t found any metal shavings anywhere except around the caps, but I haven’t pulled the pan yet either. The filter didn’t have anything weird in it so maybe it didn’t spread too far.
I've got a head floating around, I believe it's got one bent valve.
NV head so the valve stems are different dia, I've also got a tray and caps with cams and lifters for an m52 I believe if you need thatThat think looks messy
Thanks Ben I will definitely let you know if I need any parts! I found a M50 head from a fellow autoXer that looks like it is in pretty good shape so I will see where that gets me...
Well, ran into a bit of a snag. Probably going to start poking around for new head. Need new cam caps/ledges and a few other parts of the head aren’t looking to healthy. At least I’ve got some new cams already 
On that note, anyone have any M50 or S50 heads laying around?
With the help of my wife, finally got the engine on the stand and ready for tear down.
Any advice on whether or not I should have the head/block machined? Taking the head off to replace head gasket and upgrade valve springs/cams and fix front timing cover. Wasn’t having any sort of head gasket issues so I was debating if I could get by without?
I really want to get out to one of the auto x events at this track next year, I think E30 should be pretty well suited for it. I believe @MPW3RLee was there as well.
I was there, and I did see the E36 out there, looked good! @SteelBlue yes you should make an event, the E30 would do great out there, I used to track/autoX my E30 and it handled like a dream! (Although I did upgraded suspension, Bilstein shocks, Eibach lowering springs, and ST sway bars) My E90 is cool and all but the E30 was so much more predictable and controllable.
Well, finally made some progress! Been a busy summer but we’re moving along.
it sounded amazing too!
Thanks guys and nice pics! Maybe by next event I’ll be able to figure out who’s who by all your guys cars

I’m planning on going to the next event at RA on Aug 12th, I’ll have to make it a point to actually put some faces to the names. I will say though the e21 was definitely one of my favorites out there!
I will be, I think @straight6pwr and @m42b32 will be as well
Awesome see you all there 
Christmas came early 
Its been a while since ive seen a red E36 M3 and its very appealing
Thats a great car you have there!
Unfortunately it’s not mine, I’m just the one putting all the go fast parts on it
This should be pretty tasty.
Style 5s?
I think they’re some knockoff wheel but I honestly haven’t looked close enough at them. Either way I think they look pretty nice on it!
Well it’s about that time for me to start on another time consuming adventure and something to actually post about, so here it is.
I will try my best to take pictures of progress in case anyone is interested. Should be a pretty fun car all said and done!
I’ll be at the July 8th autoX for FVSCC with the M3.....anyone else going to be there?
@suspenceful wins! I’ve driven it a couple times but I never actually got on it enough to compare to a stock e46 M3....I’m always afraid of breaking other people’s cars on a test drive 
But I imagine it moves pretty well!
I am more than likely out. Will be working unless by some miracle one of my other 2 co-workers volunteers to work for me. Plus I need to get the car prepped for Sunday AutoX in Shawano.
@suspenceful found it
Hey I’ve worked on this one, guy brings it in for service every once and a while....bonus points if you can guess what’s under the hood 
A little late to the party over here, but welcome!
Looking good, your first two mods are the same first two things I did to mine! Good taste! I didn’t even make it back from my 30 hour trip and I had to make a quick stop at work to throw my grilles in, in the middle of a snow storm 
I got beat by an n55 135 that was only utilizing JB4 and the stock fuel system, with a bit of corn.
Time to make this go faster.
Just let me know when your ready to go single turbo, that’ll take care of that problem [emoji23]

Nice work, looks good in there! Almost like these cars should’ve came with it....[emoji848]It was certainly pretty cool when they made the Alpina E65 with a SC, minus the fact that it was still on the E65 chassis.

So you’re the mysterious 335 buyer!? That’s awesome! So now this makes sense, that was me following you in the i3 the other day. I saw a silver e90 (with wheels that looked just like yours) and figured it was you in your 328, but then I saw it was a 335 and got all sorts of confused.
