Four-door LS Swapped BMW E36 M3 Anyone?
The BMW E36 M3 wasn’t exactly the fastest M3 ever built. It also didn’t have the best handling, and the one we got here in the United States, was actually down on power and performance compared to its European brother. Thankfully however, the engine bay in the E36 M3 is fairly substantive, meaning an LS swap is as easy as 1,2,3. And that’s exactly what we have for you today. A glorious sounding LS swapped E36 M3.
This video seems to have been taken at a local car show. The car in question is a four-door version of the E36 M3, and according to the poster, the car got an LS1 swapped into it. The sound this car makes is absolutely brutal, and we’re sure that it goes like stink.
But here’s the question, should you LS all things? Is there a certain point where an LS swap just doesn’t work? We’re not saying that this doesn’t work, it frankly makes the car ten billion times better, but with all the swaps we’ve seen over the years, is there such a thing as taking the swap too far? Sound off in the comments below.
