Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 It's a good thing in many ways, means the parts will be reborn into another BMW that could do with a S54 M engine under the hood. Heck, would be great for someone wanting to do a S54 E46 Touring "M3" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 Don't tell anyone, but I reckon an E39 with an S54 would be a bit of fun I think so too. Wouldn't be super quick with the weight gain but would make for a nice drive. Then again compared to 530i it would be considerably quicker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again compared to 530i it would be considerably quicker. Hard to find "Official" weights... but I think you'll find the weight of the driver can make more difference than the weight of the car. 3's aren't light, 5's aren't heavy... unless you compare a 318i and a 540i Touring. I'd imagine an E46 M3, and a 530i both in manual are probably pretty close. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 From what I've read 1500-1600kg would be a realistic figure for a basic 6 cyl E39 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 From what I've read 1500-1600kg would be a realistic figure for a basic 6 cyl E39 yup our manual 525i owners manual says 1565kg. online E46 manual says 1549 kg. Dunno how much weight would transfer with the drivetrain into the E39. I assume there would be some weight gain. maybe make a total of 100kgs heavier? That's less than me 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 543 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 Didn't the last of these get CSL headers , rotor's , Callipers ? Sat Nav will have the best of the BM tuners with AUX and ID3 track names as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sat Nav will have the best of the BM tuners with AUX and ID3 track names as well. Nope the CS version had CSL headers, cats, entire exhaust basically, brakes, suspension, steering rack etc etc. Last of the few m3s got csl headers but that's it. Hey Neal you've got the awesome sound system setup in your m3 right? I'd rather like to pick your brains over that one day, brilliant work mate if I can say so! would be nice to see the finished project at a meet hopefully?

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Didn't the last of these get CSL headers , rotor's , Callipers ? Correct. Nope the CS version had CSL headers, cats, entire exhaust basically, brakes, suspension, steering rack etc etc. Last of the few m3s got csl headers but that's it. Actually that's wrong ... the CS only got the CSL Headers if made post 03/05, front brakes, DSC module (very rare and worth a bit of money these), steering rack, steering wheel and handbrake cover and the rear wheels (the fronts were 0.5" narrower), the rest are standard M3 items. It did get the HP DME however, but the tune is identical to the rest of the range. All M3 made post 03/2005 got the CSL headers also, but not the rest of the exhaust system - only the CSL had the full system. Still not the best headers you can get for the S54 ... that belongs to the P54 motorsport item which I nearly purchased a set not long ago - rumored to be good for an additional 15hp+ Edited January 11, 2015 by M3_Power 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I shouldn't look at personal spec to decipher options really). Yup that's what I meant with the last M3s they got the CSL headers. (don't think I mentioned entire exhaust system) Edited January 12, 2015 by DSCOFF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
