I Bought a Very Broken BMW E46 M3 | Can't go Wrong with a Cheap M3 Right?? 

I typically try to avoid watching dream car content but seeing an s54 chuck a rod is intriguing

I would go for a M50B25 to make the worlds most reliable e46 m3

Love to see what you do with this build! The S54 looks intimidating to dissemble, but trust me it's not that bad. The first engine I ever touched and rebuild was my S54. Only thing painful was the cost of the rebuild and trying to understand the assembly of the VANOS unit. Other than that, it'll be a fun, straightforward rebuild, and really rewarding once you're done 👍

Geepers! That’s nasty! New engine big profit! Good luck! Cheers, George

bro oh my god... this car took the "threw a rod" phrase to a whole new level

I have an S54 timing bridge and balancer pin from a recent rebuild if you decide on tearing into one, let me know if you need it, I can send it your way!

Beautiful car. I love these with the hardtop. I would never take it off. 😂

Josh, I own 2 verts. The s54 sound with the top down sold me. Personally, is never want a coupe for that reason. Honestly, I dont know where the car finds all the grip and chassis torsional rigidity. Best car I've ever owned so I did it twice 😂 gl with your purchase my dude, beautiful spec

Awesome build! Unrelated, but an e46 330i touring project in the future would be awesome

Those rims look RIGHT

This an exciting rebuild, very interesting to follow the progress

no matter how broken it is is an M3 and its frewaking beautiful wish i had even a broken one

The e46 m3 convertible with a hard top reminds me of the bmw 3.0 csi. It’s like a timeless classic look

Can’t wait for the Merch, this drop is crazy😮‍💨

I picked up an 89,000 mile 6 speed e46 m3 for $1500 it needed both cam position censors and a tps and it runs very satisfied with my purchase

Jet Black on Cinnamon ftw. S54's are not cheap...

rod bearings or vanos for sure but leaning towards rod bearings with the towing statement

Not sure where you're located, but we have an S54 with manual trans available. We're about an hour west of Philly.

Thats a very beautiful car man. That black pops!!!

bro how have your folks not kicked you out yet lol parents of the year award goes to! haha jk. side note bro! just bought my first e92 m3 clean ca title 99k miles! spacegrey over novillo black! its so sick! nothing broken! nice m3 josh love the cinnamon

Hello, in this condition, at what price did you buy it, if there is no secret?

bluetooth rods and engine breathing holes means less weight, more air intake, and more power 🤪🤪

Nice! Here in philly, people try to sell their fucked up projects for $10k plus lol I need to take a trip to your area and see what you mean by cheap

What a beauty my dream is to own the two best M's and i already have the e36 M3 but the e46 is something else just perfect

That's what I call crankcase ventilation!

There’s a video on RU-vid, from UK. Same story. They’ve rebuilt that engine, got a new block. But you can pick up a good used engine, a couple for sale on marketplace right now, you can get one for about $4K. Block is iron.

Interior is so clean 🔥🔥

Hell yeah dude! Been waiting for the video on this car to drop

"no I didn't get a shell". Proceeds to show how it's worse, because at least a shell you won't have to remove the paper weight 😂

Luckyli the rods always blow through the block downwards,, not upwards.

Yeah those push pins are not oem 😅

Looks like it has a e46 non-m SMG shift knob. From a 325/330 with SMG

The SMG rocks… willing to die on that hill

Was waiting for the new car/cars reveal!

A beautiful machine 👍

swap it! also, definitely keep those itb’s if they’re intact

Will you have a hoodie for 3 or 4t? My son is obsessed with your channel

Notorious BMW Vanos issue or all the oil fell out the bottom like most BMW's?

S54 is an Iron block

Convertible with a hardtop > coupe

Finnally

Just asking but will we ever see an E39 on this channel?

Non vanos

Suicide shift...6th to 3rd.
