all wiring done by us at munich motors,we used everything that the e46 m3 would use including the sport button.

Do you guys plan on making a plug n play harness/ecu for sale? if so, what would the price point be?

i think if someone could bring a product to make the S54 either plug n play, or semi plug n play, they could make quite a bit of cash, I think there are quite a few people who are waiting for a solution to allow an S54 swap to be done in their own garage... I will NOT pay 3,000$ for this product though, an i think there are many others of the same opinion as my self.....

Plus the cost of the motor/trans/DME/cluster/keys/etc.....probably cheaper in the longrun to buy a wrecked E46 M3.

Since the E46's run CAN-BUS(right?), I would also be interested in something for the M54B30.

part of the problem with the S54 swap is that the harness has inputs for all kinds of sensors that only the E46 M3 has.. from my understanding anyhow.. like accelerometers, and the such.... The M54 has been done, i think the guy posts on R3limited. The S54 is even a pain in the ass when transplanting into another E46.

I think you can get a S54 set up for around 5k$ ish... depending on how patient you are and how well you comb the forums. I would agree though, go to copart.com and get a car that has been rear-ended take your required items for the swap, then part the rest out and put some cash in your pocket.

You can get an M54B30 for around 2200$ from car-part.com, they are pretty good motors, i have an E46 330, with a light weight flywheel the motor is a pretty fun motor... Just doesn't have the power or RPM's of the S54

m54 also does not require shimming of the valves which is costly even if you do it yourself and a pain in the ass. I would go M54 from a ZHP model if possible over the s54 but that's just for practicality.
