Words: Ben Koflach. Photos: Louis Ruff @ Definitive. There was a time when the E46 M3’s prized high-revving 3.2-litre S54 engine was a no-go as far as engine swaps were concerned. However, thanks to the pioneering work of a few clever individuals, it’s now a relatively simple swap. Here are three very different approaches to building an S54 E36.
