- Sean from @PrecisionSportIndustries walks us through what he thinks is a perfect E36 M3. It's been completely stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up with an E46 M3 S54 that's completely built.

Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/
Dream car. Im 40yrs now and had a oem e36 eurospec cosmoschwartz 3.0 286ps 94 as my first car when I was 19yrs old. It was amazing still the best car I ever had. Ofcorse it was crashed... Im in sweden. Bought it for like 13000 usd back then imaculate with 80000km now that car is like 50000 here or more and never for sale. Wont ever have one again. What a masterpeice.
Hello everyone. Lucky owner here. Pretty awesome to see the video and everyone’s kind words. Some good ideas for phase 2 are noted too!
should’ve gone with dakar yellow
@@kathe141 Do your own in DYII
@@kathe141 yep I am not fan of the colour either
color is subjective but my opinion of not having the chrome grills isn't. i think if you stick with the stock crhome grills it will match this oem+ looks really well, give it that classy e36 feel.
Beautiful build. Would you mind sharing the cost for something of this level?
getting old enough when project cars you had sell for more than new cars
Lol, I can relate. I had 2-3 of these things. Regret selling them.
@@xm3ntal620 tale as old as hot rods
@@xm3ntal620 why you regret selling them, what you drive now, better ?
@@lucasRem-ku6eb "Better" is a relative term. Most will say these older cars have a feel that is unique to itself.
That's why I own 10 cars. Lol
@@andydhillon1977 I did that with CTR TV's, you know we are losing them forever.
First i bought was for Duchunt, Nintendo, now we own 20 of the best models ever made !
As a 328i owner(E36) this is my favorite vid on the channel yet!!
Superb build. Love that its low key with a surprise under the hood. Wish I had the means to have Precision Sport Industries OEM+ my E86 (one day I hope). Nice content as usual Larry.
See, now that is how you build a "street car" is enthusiast intent.
~All the right sounds, features, feels.
~Sticking to the KISS method.
~OEM+
~Nice color choice, becomes especially sleeper on OEM style wheels.
(Bravo PSI)
What a job. Simply perfect. Color, engine, car. No question. Greetings from Germany.
Omg Larry grewup sorta like me. I also had a childhood friend whose father was a Certified jr man tech who worked on german imports daily. He would buy mildy crash cars and fix them up so he repaired a e36 that just needed a new front bumper. That car was the coolest thing early 2000s with a huge subwoofer and trance music blasting.
Super subtle resto, very clean
I like how he said this is what I do for a Hobbie an for work an I love what I do. Quality of the work done from the camera view is also well shown.
The colour on this car looks amazing. Saw a video recently of Sean and this car and been dreaming of a new car project in this colour since. Weldone and great story too.
I daily my 98 328i with 300K. I'm not sure these cars will ever bring big money because they made so many of them but I think they will always be a highly regarded classic just because how simple they are.
My 99 is my daily too. Solid car even though little things fail every so often lol. My gauge cluster went out a few weeks ago.
not true, give it some more time, clean examples will become more scarce. our age group will start to make money and decide to buy the cars they always wanted to build.
I saw this in person this week, STUNNING. And a super cool owner.
Love love love that car!! The induction sound is sooo good!! Wow! What a perfect drivers car!
Iconic car and dope restomod build, nice work!
So smooth on the road. Love it
Beautiful build! So clean! Makes me want to do this swap on mine! This was my dream car as well at 15 and was finally able to convice my dad to get one in 98. Ill never forget driving it off the showroom floor with him and driving it back home to CT from FL. He kept it perfect and even though my mom wanted to sell it multiple times, i was able to afford to buy it from him in 2007 and will be in my collection for ever. I couldn't agree more about e36 Ms finally getting their deserved respect. Those that want to knock it just don't know. I love that it doesn't have the wing either, just pure clean BMW classic lines...thanks Larry for showcasing this one!
This car is AMAZING!!!
I miss my E36, it was my favorite car.
I’m gonna have to visit Precision Sport Industries and place an order.
Awesome build! Bring back memories, in my college days in mid 90s I had an E36 M3 with Activeautowerke intake, Exhaust and track pipe, that thing sounded like a beast.
Color looks amazing. I own a 95’ Avus Blue
Incredible build! I just love the OEM plus concept and this one was done so well. If it were mine personally, I would have done a moonroof delete if possible and would have gone with a BMW color like Hellrot or Laguna Seca Blue. I don't know what the owner ended up spending on this one, but I think it is worth whatever it took. Modern performance cars are impressive, but something was lost along the way and cars like this have it in spades. Well done.
Nice car.
As far as I can remember, the M3 exhaust pipes are slightly offset. The outer is slightly shorter than the inner.
Awesome build! What a dream project. @PrecisionSportIndustries killed it!
Great content as always
One of the best S54's I've heard
These e36 and e46 vids are fantastic!
Sublime build. Passionate attention to detail. I am very happy the guy got the exact color he wanted.
That headliner touch 🤌
Build looks amazing however I would go with a darker blue. It’s preference. Great job!!!
Epic build man. Maintain it, drive it, enjoy it.
Awesome E36 build. This looks almost like a “BMW Individual” build, similar to Porsche’s PTS program or McLaren’s MSO operations. *I ❤ the Pioneer DEH-80PRS headunit.* I have the same one in my E36.
I noticed that, too. And thought it was funny that the reasoning was to have Bluetooth. The 80PRS Bluetooth is not that great.
Wow, this is my dream car. i have dreamed about this project for years. I want mine in CSL grey though.
Currently doing up my 3 series and this is what I’m aiming for just super tidy oem with nice updated parts and that gulf blue is too good 💙
such a cool build
Yeah same, E36 was the M car when I was growing up then E46 came out when I was in college and changed the game......funny how I was dreaming of having a mint E36 M3 4 door manual and here you are featuring a meculant M3 coupe.....lol
And the respect with which Larry drives someone else's car...
Respect!
Perfect video Larry, perfect car, thanks for helping everyone to understand and don't underestimate the E36's only because they are cheap on USA. to the rest of the world they are expensive still and considered modern classics. cheers mate
Straight up the nicest sounding BMW I've ever herd. 😎🇬🇧✌👍👊
S65 has joined the chat
@@WhoIsSea. S54, S65 and S85 are some of the best sounding engines out there in my opinion
@@WhoIsSea. M88 has joined the chat
@@siamdixon9671 no argument. The M1 Procar was so aggressive!
The car looks amazing
Try Euro Impulse shift knobs … they are great and high quality
carbon intake just changes the sound, love it!
Blimey that's a beautiful OEM build, those guys at PSI are so good.
Ill build one like this soon. Thx for the video
Lovely job guys this is the car that inspired me 2 buy the M I have now
This car is so spec’d out 😦🤯
Gorgeous
The E36 M3 is so underrated
Prices are going up. Check out bring a trailer
The only thing that sucks is the engine, and it doesn't really suck, it's just overshadowed by the S54, basically the M54 in a 330 is the same engine in the E36 M3.
@@SavageBunny1 basically its not
Beautiful 🎉
Larry u have been feature alot BMWs lately love it
Great car!
so good and i love that they didnt do a quad tip exhaust.. damn i miss my e36 though
S54 is definitely a one of the best swaps you can do to a US e36 m3. Euros already came with the legendary s50. And my first turbo kit on the e36 in the early 2000s used an active autowerke bottom mount log style turbo manifold 🤣.
Did you have the AA kit with the old 20g turbo? I used to know someone around 2003-04 who had that kit on his E36 M3. SUPER rare to see forced induction M3s back then so it certainly stood out. Was a damn fast street car for that era and I think ran a best of 11.9 @ 121mph
@@DLouie21 it did come with a 20g lol we used a gt35r instead. Made 540whp on a stock m52 with studs and gasket. This was 04-05. Made 715whp on stock internals before going built engine. 2007 it was the first 1000whp e36 328. Ran 9.92 @ 156 with full interior , ac and heated seats. Everyone slept on the m52s back then.
Cleaner than clean
What a build!Dream Car, Dream build
Beautiful 🥰
Driftaholics approved!
S54 and the AA exhaust is on point but the car should have a 6 spd 3.2 evo box and the euro cluster installed. Should have iconic “Vader” seats and 3pt ‘97+ steering wheel & airbag combo.
LTW + m3 GT aero and LTW wheels would complete the package imo.
Meh! I have an M3/4/5 w sport seats and a Stromung Exhaust. I don't like announcing my arrival, but everyone does takes
notice that I’ve arrived. To each their own, but I prefer an understated look.
Awesome car, superb job! I've got a M3 E36 321hp myself, the Euro Estoril blue 4-dr sedan, because I personally prefer the sedan above the coupe.
Sedan here too. Much more user friendly
awesome build,man!!.love the e36 and dont think it gets the love it deserves!?. colours ok imo but id have to swap the wheels for some style 24 m3 wheels and then its perfect!.
Sweet build. Wish I'd had the money to make my '97 M3 into something like this when I had it.
I had e 36 M3 for many years and i have a beautiful E30 M3 steering wheel if your interested
I personally feel it’s the best 3 spoke wheel for the e36 model
Also I have e36 evo differential and cage and other parts
Badass 🔥🔥🔥
great build
Modded s52 better way to go and better sounding over s54 (cheaper also)
Even better, turbo it keep it stock motor (550-610wheel hp on Eor93) trust me, it feels like you drive a brand new 2023 e36 M3 .. perfect power band, fun classic car, never gets old and keeps up with modern technology cars!
40k original miles making 610wheel
100k+ miles one on 93 has the setup for over 5 years, never broke down and still running like in the 1st day
if you’re not sure what you need for your e36 this is the way to go!
the greatest car of all time !!
The m coupe was one of my favorites from that generation and people hated them! And on bring a trailer one sold for 101k!!
I’d love to see the M3 badge on the back!
Amazing video as usual. can you do a video on adamlz 2jz e36. Thank you larry.
I think it's perfect, but I would do the interior different way.... Seats I would go with Recaro PP with ///M cloth inserts and rear seat delete is quite ugly so to say. Would be great with simplfied oem panels on sides and flat middle part wrapped in alcantara to match the rest of the interior. But besides that one of the coolest e36s I've ever seen.
cleann
Yes, this is the perfect E36 M3 if you didn't already have a BMW NA Factory race team modified LTW to GT2 specs. Hit me up if you want to video it.
Make you own video
@@Funkyflykiwi Definately going to just bought the camera / lens last week
9.8 out of 10 build, and great to see a powerful OEM E36 M3 state side. But that exhaust sounds so bad. I wonder if fitting an OEM back box would reduce performance at all?
Awesome build, definitely a dream E36, I would just keep an original Radio, it's easily possible to add Bluetooth capabilities to a Business CD43 for example. But that's just a detail and personal taste. Congratulations!!
I have a 1995 E36 with 180k one owner! OMG i love this car! I would love to know how much it cost to do this restore
Very nicely done car, but I can't get over the fact that everything in this car has been done to a very high standard, only to have it on BC coilovers. This thing needs KW.
E36 ///M3 are a rare sight these days. Where did they all go?
It even has fully functional indicators, now that's some crazy stuff !
340 HP for the streets is perfect.
I've driven a lot of cars with more power and they become a handful on the street.
I wonder if people realize this?
are you planning on putting in the bmw paint code sticker with an updated paint name? also carpet the rear seat delete & go find some twisty roads!
Thats a really good idea!!
This is a pretty common swap in the NASA GTS and TT world. Usually with come kind of funky tune to keep the engine just within compliance for the class.
That is a cool build and almost perfect, but I'd have a different steering wheel, maybe a Sparco Lap5 Suede wheel. Oh, and I would've wanted sound deadening and carpet in the rear seat delete because that can get loud inside. I want another E36 besides the one I have already. I'm leaning real hard towards a Euro Spec M3 if I can find one for reasonable money ,but that is getting harder every day that goes by. God I hate that Old BMWs are getting so damn trendy.
Hey Larry and friends! I need some advice. What would be a Larry Approved car in the price range of 20-30k, New off the lot? I'm looking to purchase my first car and would love getting something knowing it has the Larry Stamp Of Approval! Thanks in advanced!
This car would highly benefit from my ramair vent design.
If the customer wants an OEM headunit which will support bluetooth - they could always go for the Becker traffic pro, and pair that up with a parrot kit. Thats the route I took.
You shouldn't keep holding onto the gear shift between gears. This will wear the shift fork out prematurely.
Newer BMW’s don’t have the wet look finish they used to have on the interior plastic parts. Watch M539 restorations video on the Alpina B7 he Restored.
That is one sweet M
I love the color but not on e36 haha but that s54👌🏼
the only thing i wouldve change is added a modern infotainment system and gotten red plaid recaros
Amazing build the only thing that let's ot down is the steering wheel, very Garry from Halfords, it don't go. Especially when you want an oem feel. A high end screen would have been better than pioneer stereo again very Garry feel.
Apart from that amazing but change those bits
The only gripe I have with most 36 mods, always too low and too stiff. They were almost perfect out the box. All you need is linear rate springs and MAYBE sway bars. Next step square tire setup.
❤
Gonna go with AST coilovers? Who still sells those? I thought they went under?
I guess not, lol. Looked them up. Haven't heard much from them lately
Bro I want to swap engine in my e34 525i which engine is desirable how about s58?
Car is almost perfect, but needs a better steering wheel (OEM Euro 3 spoke), and BBS RK's for an old school look or LM's for the forged setup.
That carbon intake cost over 5k im pretty sure and there pretty rare
i wonder how you can make it street legal in the U.S...with all the modifications
Ngl, I was a little bummed when Larry took the convo from all the engine goodies to his question as to whether the body was taken down to bare metal before paint. I know Larry has a format that he sticks with but I would've like to hear more details about the engine. Still love the channel tho
How many dalah for an s54 swap on the E36!? Where is this shop located. Have happily owned my E36 for 12 years and ready to take it to next level.
I feel like it needs the 99 US oem rear spoiler / wing …
