What makes the swap even more redundant is that swapping the motors apparently messed with the steering on the E46.
So basically, they have an E46 M3 that no longer has the original steering feel. The car gained about 100hp, but the motor is now in a car that has an even more outdated interior. All for the price of an: E46 M3, S65 engine, and an additional 50k for the next buyer. And the wait time would only be about 6-8 months.
Damn, that's a good deal.

he loves the e46 body and interior, like i do and i own an e92m.
he also did a carbon roof at the same time. i do agree the swap time is nuts but i think they include taking on the task along with their day to day operations, not 100% work on 1 swap with all resources.
