The S54 was the last of its kind in the straight-6 category. It was eventually replaced in 2008 with the BMW S65 engine, which was a V8 and so the line of straight-six engines ended. The S54B32 engine was used in the E46 M3 , the E36 M Coupe and Z3 M Roadster, the Wiesmann MF 3 Roadster, and the E85 Z4 M Roadster and Coupe models. A newer car would be more economical, faster, more reliable and safer but I remember being 17 so I know you probably don't give a shit about any of that and just want an E36 cause you think it's cool (and maybe you want to do some skids in a supermarket car park). 16 posts · Joined 2022. #7 · Mar 7, 2023. I bought a used E36 convert. and it was a good deal but I did have to do some work, minor for me but a major undertaking for most. Parts are available for most repairs on Rockauto.com, so depending on skill level and if the car is for A-B or for fun would be the decider. pIcxwG.
