Ideal Build?

[Cbouts]

Recently I've been throwing around the idea of a project. No serious consideration at this point as I would need a little more space but I'm curious to learn from the process. Figured I would see what other people have thought of/did

What is your ideal build (Doesn't have to be one listed)?
E30 with S54
E36 with LS
Supercharged
Turboed
OEM+
Etc...

Id like an m2 with an s85 and an e30 with an n54.

The E30 with an S54 has certainly peaked my interest!

Read it again - n54. I already have an s54 in my e46 so I'm happy with that. I love NA cars but I've always wanted an e30 turbo and the n54 seems like a solid powerplant for that.

Chitown-M was doing a dyno day at performance euro werks the other day and we got to see a supercharged s54 e30. Beautiful.

Oops! N54 sounds like a good option too.

A stretched Lotus Exige with an S85 and DCT gearbox.

A 1M S85 V10...that would be insane.

Ok, dont crucify me

i want my car converted to electric. Instant torque, the same 0-60, no more rod bearings. Ill miss the sound of the S54, thats a fact. But when this conversion is a reasonable price, its happening

if not that, i want an E34 with an S62 in it. That car is gorgeous and that engine is amazing. 400hp in an E34!!! Sign me up

Someone welded two supra 1jz engines together. Someone should weld two s54s together and see if they end up with a 666hp 6.5l v12

Currently trying to figure out if I want to swap in a K24 with a turbo into my Z3M Coupe roller.

Ideal would be an LS7 in an E46 M3 but it would have to be built to rev which isn't hard or expensive for that matter.

With Covid still being a thing I have been looking at e30s 325i, Porsche 944 and e36 m3s.
For the E30 I would ideally go turbo M20, for the 944 LS-swap and for the e36 m3 supercharged.

People are going to love EVs when they get to know them. It's also going to open up a whole new world of modding, actually already has.

People are doing some really cool things. I like the guy who mods Teslas on youtube. He just did an electric ATV conversion copying the one Tesla did with the cyber truck launch.

We have that, its called the Mclaren F1 😁

To answer the OP, I'd like an F10/F90 M5 with a modern-day S85 V10. I'd prefer N/A but wouldn't mind twin-turbo as long as it still made those glorious 10-cylinder noises and pushed over 600 Horsepower. It'd be the ultimate highway bomber (and the ultimate maintenance machine).

These are some awesome ideas! so many great options!

Love the idea of an N54 in an E30. Old school style with modern power. might have to look into that one day.
