Every owner of an E92 BMW M3 has some worries about their car. One of these, for instance, includes the possibility of its engine to self-destruct. The distinguished naturally-sounded V8 screamer, they say, might possibly fall apart. They were able to recognize this on the S65 engine of the E9X M3. The engine failed several owners as to how it showed a tendency of eating its own rod bearings. When this takes place, the owners usually just discard their car altogether. As for some, they replaced their engine. Take, for instance, this E93 BMW M3 Convertible owner who actually replaced his car’s engine with a Ferrari one.
What is more, the owner also led to welding the roof and had it secured in one place. As a result, the removal of the intricate folding gear reduces the weight of the car. It also increased its torsional solidity. The E93 BMW M3 also wore a steering wheel with no bite and new Sparco racing seats. Complementing this set was the new widebody kit. However, the most important addition is the naturally-aspirated Ferrari V8. It gave a better sound compared to the already-remarkable sound of M3 V8.
A manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels pairs this great Italian engine. Thus, it reveals itself as a decent weapon. It’ll become one but, right now, it’s tuned in a much lower condition. This is necessary to make sure that it altogether functions properly before turning the power back up. Thus, it only boasts about 300 horsepower. Evidently, this is a downturn from what the M3 produces, not to mention a Ferrari V8.
Nevertheless, its slaying sound-track makes it more fun to ride. In addition to this are the unexpectedly competent air suspension and manual gearbox. These allow the E93 BMW M3 to blast off around the track. Considering the great modification and changes, the M3 in this video appears to have been excellently well-built.
Replacing the S65 engine is not that easy. In fact, the engines with a leaping horse appear to be the only capable one to do that.
