Because E30's are boxy nerd cars and he wants 18 grand for it.

I'm not saying it's not worth it, because he literally did 99% of everything right, it's just not worth it to me.

*he used the E36 5 speed instead of the E46 6 speed.

You might as well dump 18 more grand on your rusty Z. When the hell are you gonna post more pics of your datsun...

the hardest part of his swap is bypassing the e46 electronics that prevent theft.... that's why no one swaps s54s....

good job on him...

e36 m3 gearbox >e46 6 speed

Negative. The E46 6 speed can hold more power and because of the 6th gear that actually has overdrive you can run a lower gear ratio out back and still have the car be livable.

I definitely respect the build, but I'd still rather spend $18,500 on an e46 or really nice e36 M3 for the handling.

I saw a glossy black Aventador last night. It looked pretty awesome, but you couldn't hear it. Maybe it's like all the other new sports cars with their fancy exhaust bypass buttons.
