GarageScout Take

E39-sourced M54B30 swap, installed in 2023 with a five-speed manual and 2.93:1 limited-slip differential. The seller also reports rebuilt VANOS and DISA components, replacement fuel injectors in 2025, Kassel Performance engine management software, and a Redline Motorsport swap wiring harness. Rust repairs used multiple layers of 18-gauge steel in the front footwells, front body supports, and battery box, followed by an exterior respray within the last year.

Strengths

  • M54B30 and five-speed manual conversion
  • Limited-slip differential and brake upgrades
  • Documented engine and air-conditioning work
  • European-market lighting and M-Technic-style body kit

Watch For

  • Total mileage is unknown despite the 196k-mile odometer reading
  • Uneven metallic finish on upward-facing surfaces after the recent respray
  • Windshield chips and exterior imperfections
  • Inoperative coolant temperature gauge and intermittent speedometer repaired recently
