e46 m3 touring sport

Fantastic!

Did you have any problems with electronic control modules etc, or did you just swap absolutely everything into the new chassis?

[krallicious]

The perfect Q-car. Nice to see you have not used the M3 19 inch wheels.

[MattOz]

Neither car is mine chaps!

I understand that there is the odd electronic gremlin to overcome, and you need to use M3 clocks, modules etc. Essentially it's a total transplant. OSC Motorsport in Rugby are responsible for both converstions IIRC. The trial and error "mistakes" have been ironed out and they're aware of exactly what is required to complete the conversion.

Cheers

That is my ultimate car!

It would be great if they offered an official upgrade package all in, i'd have one!

[Pork]

Thanks for the pic Matt. Interesting to see they are both very stealthy! You'd not have a clue they had M3 hearts.

Superb.

How much did all this cost mate. I want one. An M3 that you can fit all your band gear in. Brilliant!

i bought all csl running gear complete ,engine box axels suspension brakes clocks and all inportant ecu,ews and keys from a very famous f1 drivers mistake the car owes me 10 grand at the moment but have been offered more there is a big gap in the market for these and a piece of cake to do this conversion took 3 full days, hardest part is clock wiring and sport button this conversion is made easier if your car has electronic throttle pedal will post pics soon


thanks wayne

buy the way i asked osc about a conversion and they wanted to caharge a fortune and told me it was a massive job and took months maybe now they can do them quicker but these are a dodle after putting an ls1 into my e30 jaigermeister m3 and now 1 in my lexus is200 with over 540bhp this is easy

Now that's a proper sleeper!

Did you not have any problems fitting the diff at all then? IIRC OSC had to cut out the spare wheel well on the car above.

[Pork]

Has anyone done an M3 tourer with the cosmetics of the coupe?

[okgo]

Does this perform similarly too the actual M3?

[DJFish]

That really is quite superb, obviously not as fast as a 330d but superb nonetheless!
