So I finally got myself a 330Ci a few weeks back, and so far it's been pretty enjoyable. I got it for $3800 with 112,000 miles on it, 5 speed, silver exterior, black interior. The only things that's gone wrong on me was I was getting a misfire in cylinder 3, so I just replaced the spark plugs and the fixed the problem, it had the original BMW spark plugs from 2002 in it.
Anyway onto my idea, so there were a few things I wanted to do with this such as get an M3 bumper, M3 wheels ETC. So I totaled that up to around $700, and that's just what I would really want, I would also like an M3 hood too, and maybe a steering wheel. I also wouldn't mind the headlights, tail lights, and the signals. So totaling all that up, I got well over $2500.
So that's when I had the idea, I've been looking around at salvage title M3s for sale and the prices vary anywhere from $900-$2000 depending on the running condition. So in theory wouldn't it be a better deal to buy a salvage title M3 as a parts car an put the M3 goodies on my 330?
I guess if I really wanted to be crazy too I could try and find one with a working S54 but I'm fine with the power mine makes now and don't want my subframe to crack any sooner.
Also after I got everything that I want out of it, I could either part it out or sell it to the junk yard, so doesn't sound like a totally bad idea imo.
Better than my idea to buy a salvage M3 and fix THAT up.

I think I may have a good idea for once
