Yep. There is no way to make an S50B32 pass an OBDII hookup. It doesn’t even actually have a CEL.

So, as between building a '95 and buying something like that goofy Japanese market 94 on BaT, which would you do? Also, you may be underpricing your E46. This one is pretty similar (slicktop, even), and is already at 12,5. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-bmw-m3-77/ |

The S50B30 euro can’t rev as high and doesn’t make nearly the power (stock) of the S50B32. On the plus side, with a ‘94 under the 25 year rule, you could do anything you wanted and be totally clear. Edit: If the goofy ‘94 on BAT goes for under $15k, it’d be a solid deal even if you put in a 3.2 later.

Here is a different type of ICE entertainment. It will relieve boredom, and could also be helpful in fixing your garage issue.
Your neighbors might hate it/want to borrow it. And please, I'm mostly joking https://www.ebay.com/i/202503374696?chn=ps Your son might dig it

I could be wrong but I do think it would bring you more joy than another car that sits outside that you can't work on. A few other random observations from my own life. YMMV

You're absolutely right; helpful to think outside the box. I ordinarily don't like driving SUVs, but driving the 4Runner in MN for a year was a surprising amount of fun. Trudging effortlessly through deep snow, driving over snowbanks (just because you can), and mild off-roading out in nature, can be really enjoyable.
