After looking at many E90 M3 donors, some were bad, some were overpriced, lots of bullshit... I just decided to go N54xi (over N55 too) because of the power potential. It will be disappointing to many of you, a bit disappointed myself but it was either this or keeping the N52. But I'm going to keep it real, fuck the N52. I should have done this from the beginning but I wanted to keep faith in the Supercharger kit that just did not work out for me. I did notice that they did work for other members and that's great but it is what it is. To be fair, I also gave up because I was too focused on other projects.
Full bolt-ons have been ordered. I'm making a decision on what to do with the Turbo(s). We are moving along.

Nothing but smart business, imo! I think the power characteristics of the turbo six motors are better-suited to the heavy wagon. It'll be exactly what your N52 couldn't do. Happy for ya! Also, N54 seems much easier to swap vs N55, from the threads I read. Going to be a beastly wagon!
And yeah, I've been watching M3 auctions, too. So much overpriced garbage on there. I have no idea how people are making money on them after labor for such high mileage crap. Maybe I'm missing something? |

I think the N54 is a smarter move, even though you lose the purist aspect of the build.
If I don't sell my E91 N54 build, maybe I'll dump the wtcc kit and go full oem M3 body.

Yup, I've been trying to keep everything M3 specific and OEM+. It hurts a bit. I haven't seen an update from you in quite a while! Post baby! Hope all is well.

Interior is being put away. So much space in here. Part of me wants to do some Recaro seats.

Recaros in the wagon are actually more comfy than stock sport seats! Just calibrate expectations. Your partner may hate you for them if they aren't a driving enthusiast. And, a bit of practice for ingress and egress will go a long way mitigating the dreaded spastic, sweaty transition in and out of the car. Steering wheel QRs are popular, but I just slide the seat back, lift up, and pivot out. Enjoying your progress.

Any updates on this? If the N54 came from an xdrive model, does that mean you swapped over everything including the xdrive?

E60 M5s and E63 M6s got Interlagos Blue, assuming that one isn't individual.
