Sean Myers and his company Precision Sport Industries<\/a> (PSI) completely rebuilt this BMW E36 M3<\/a> to better than factory condition. The company swapped the factory 3.2 L S52<\/a> inline-six for a 3.2 L S54<\/a> inline-six. PSI refreshed the motor with new rod and main bearings, ARP studs, DrVanos Vanous unit with their Cryo Exhaust Hub<\/a>, Active Autowerke exhaust headers, and Karbonius CSL carbon fiber airbox. Behind the motor is a five-speed manual transmission and M3 limited-slip differential. PSI reinforced the subframes and added Powerflex bushings and AST 5100 1-way adjustable coilovers. The exterior was changed from the factory silver to a Porsche Irish Green paint. PSI installed new glass, Euro headlights and taillights, lightweight rear wing, and a set of Augment 18-inch wheels. <\/p>\n
