Went over to RMP Motors over the weekend to take delivery of my new motor and saw the built E90 track cars in action. Here are the videos which I managed to take with my crappy iPhone:

Drule**** The sound is unbelievable! That car looks untouchable!

On a side note Kevin... Taking delivery on your new motor? What happened to your other S54? Not running well? What did you do with it?

My oil cooler hit a patch of light snow last year and broke off - oil escaped before I noticed the red oil light to pull over . Around 6-8 months later my engine started ticking

and here we are now replacing the motor (rebuild cost was pretty much the same thing if not more so I decided to get a fresh motor from 04 M3 with 62,xxx KMs and sell my motor to someone who wants to do a engine build project.

Ahhh beautiful! good idea! at least you got a clean motor now!

What should I expect to pay for a clean S54 motor similar to yours and install on an E46 ZHP if you don't mind me asking?

About time! Maybe now they can finally play with the rest of the bimmers

Need more german iron (or aluminum I guess) on the podium!

From what I saw, a clean low mileage S54 goes for $4000-$4500 with warranty and all the documents. If you are looking to get one, PM me and I can help you out. And as for the install, it really depends on what you need done so i would contact Rocco on that directly.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW...Great job RMP, as ALWAYS ofcourse.
I can NOT WAIIIIT to see it in action my self. I'm sure it'll look even better upclose....Rocco Really knows what hes doing.

Steve30 · 05-03-2011, 07:07 PM

Nice, just the person I was looking for. I need a low mileage ( like less than 80k) S54 with the recall done.
