Hey guys, before you shoot me down for it not being a true blood M3, it is the engine that really matters - to me anyway.
The car started off as a 325i but I quickly upgraded and modified some things to make it better. The goal with the car is to have a nice high HP and torque NA engine. It will be 11.5:1 compression which is perfectly safe for pump gas and it will feature some of our cams that Paul Burke manufactures for us. I am hoping to hit 300 - 320 WHP under 7500 and about 265 - 275 Wheel Torque.
Here is the car as it sat when I bought it for 1300 bucks!!!
I did some cosmetic upgrades to make it look much better than a 325 and some would say it looks better than a stock M3...
The Wheel well was cut out so that A custom rear diffuser can be fitted...
I have a ton more pictures that you can see on the cars blog, www.e36warmachine.com if you want to see the blabbering about all the details.
As for the engine, I finally got that back together last week...
Specs:
S50B30 US Spec
Miller 87mm 11.5:1 Compression Pistons
Miller/Burke custom cams - 235.7@.050 430L intake / 228.5@.050 451L exhaust
Miller WAR Chip
Eagle Rods
ARP Hardware
Elring w/Oring setup
Electric water pump with secondary block entry
Eventual 75 - 100 shot of N2O
Stock ports, just valve job...

Degree'ing the cams to get a 117.5 Center line for the intake and 108.5 center line for the exhaust. This will give me a nice frumputy idle around 850 but if I raise the idle to 1100 it will smooth out. I want it rough though :P
The oil pan is coated with a nice thermal dispersant so that it sheds heat easier. Makes a nice difference in temps on intake tubes etc so I am eager to see how well it works for the oil pan.
I chopped the impeller off the water pump since I am going with an electric Davies Craig unit. I don't have time to make a nice block off plate so for now, this had to do.
Got the Fidanza fly wheel on,
Followed by the ever trusty clutchmaster FX400 6 puck...
Ready to drop in all as one...
Special TCM knob installed that matches the interior better... I am holding the "stock" switch knob our WAR Chip comes with.

Damn...that thing is bold. Would love to see it around town.
+1 for local car.
Killer build! Did you go with their titanium retainers as well?
Who's going to tune the car,,,,,,
I kid.
Actually, I was not aware that the WAR chip was capable of switching between four different pre-stored tunes until I was reading up on it on your web page. How did I miss this before? In for results!
WOT
I'm digging' it. The "war paint" looks awesome.

Looks awesome!!!! I'm a M Coupe S52 guy, but i'd swap you any day
Without headwork and large duration/lift cams, I don't know if your powergoals are realistic. GL anyhow.
Wow...I have not logged into BFC in a long time. I come back and see this as one of the first post upon coming back...NICE!
