The Build
This E36 M3 sedan runs the S85 5.0L V10 out of an E60 M5, a swap almost nobody attempts in the E36 chassis. We took it to Mpact, where it won an award alongside another build from our shop, an E30.
Built entirely in-house at our Mamaroneck, NY facility by the same team that handles our collision repairs and custom bodywork. This project is a testament to what happens when factory-grade precision meets performance ambition.
