Kalim, nice to see you here. Doesn't matter if you have a ZHP or not. We're all BMW enthusiasts here.

Welcome to the Mafia, pal.

Welcome. Not to threadjack but, can you list what parts were needed for the M3 rear swap? I'm very close to purchasing a setup and want to make sure it has everything I need.

[danewilson77]

you must know this gentleman,,,cuz i see nothing in the thread that suggests an ///M3 read end swap.

It's a bit easier on the ZHP than on my 325i since 330s have more parts in common with M3s. I did a quick write-up of it here: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=761356

There are a few more threads on e46fanatics on the subject. My recommendation is to pick up a complete rear end if you can. It'll make things a lot easier.

Also, you won't have to go to a custom drive shaft with the 6spd manual 330 trans. The M3 drive shaft works fine.

Ahhhh...no sigs on tapatalk. My bust.

Thanks. Now I just need an M3 driveshaft and a passenger side axle.

[az3579]

That is the best looking E46 325i I've ever seen. Call it a 325i Club Sport if you will. :biggrin

[danewilson77]

Perfect.

[Mtnman]

welcome. nice ride.

[nk_zhp]

Did you repaint it to imola? Or is it not imola?

[gr330zhp]

Sexy 325i!!

Awesome. Good luck with the conversion. :)

It's japanrot. Looks quite a bit like imola in the shade.


Sexy 325i!!

Thanks! Nice zhp you've got there yourself. :biggrin

[Johnmadd]

Vetty Vetty niiice.

[pyreguy]

Beautiful car!!!

I would like to see Japanrot next to Imolarot to get a comparison.

[Hornung418]

Fooled me :biggrin

LSD is cash money. I long for one in my 328.

Happens all the time! :mwah

LSD is the one of the best mods I did for my car.

[pyreguy]

Thanks! They look pretty similar on my cellphone screen. Will check it out when I get home tonight.

Kalim,

I will add that your ride is beautifully done! Especially your S54 swap....totally EPIC :chuck

[BimmerWill]

Beautiful ride. Even more respect knowing it has the famous swap to go along with it. If I keep my 330 I hope to eventually do the same one day. That or a FI kit haven't completely decided yet.

The swap was like a breath of fresh air for my 325i. If you decide to go FI, I don't think you'll be disappointed as the few FI 330s I've driven have felt very quick.

[Johal E32]

Car looks great Kalim!

Do you have any "updated" pictures :) ?

Fantastic looking car. That is really impressive work. I definitely miss the LSD when I drive the ZHP.

I'm secretly praying my engine blows so that I can justify this one day. :shift

An S54 powered ZHP is a dream of mine <3
