I can't imagine an e30 chassis needs s54 level of power. I guess if you build an Franken-e30.

I have to agree with JV. Mine only had the Dinan muffler which helped, but I had my eye on resonators to quiet a certain portion and then it was going to be an airbox and then a tune and on and on... While I've missed out on upside by selling instead of holding on, I've also stopped spending time & money on that car (that also needed a suspension refresh that I was not willing to deal with). I can't say I miss the m3 engine and chassis like crazy.

I do miss laguna seca blue, the design in and out as well as an overall concept that teetered between modern and retro. Also a rare combination of sport and practicality.
