Finally this weekend got a chance to take some photos of my 525 S54 after installing the last piece of the puzzle which was the 6 and 4 pistons brakes on front and rear with 345mm two piece rotor all around that is sufficient enough to hold the beast. I thought you would enjoy the pics as much as I did taking them.

Cheers,
Sia

Fuck yes.

Very clean swap!

I love that car, Sia. You have to take me for a ride in it next year if you bring it to Vintage at VIR.

As good as it gets!

Very,very NICE!

So much goodness with that car

Good god, this car is pure s-e-x.

!! !!

Sia, do you even own a car that is not perfect? I need to know, your making me feel very inferior here.

So what is it with the Canadians and their perfect cars? Is it the long winters they spend in the garage? Or are the rest of us just hacks?


Gorgeous car Bud!

I rode in this car. I stared at this car. I was with Sia as he was jamming up the brakes saying "NONONONONONO!" as the twisty road suddenly turned into gravel, I love the shit out of this car.

one day, I hope to have such a cool car.

Sia, driving this car changed my life.

Thank you for sharing more awesome.

Sia,
You've outdone yourself my friend. Absolutely stunning example! I can't wait to see and experience it...perhaps at 5erFest?

p.s.,
Where can I find a set of those driving lights with the yellow (French) optics? One of the lenses on my Euro valance is cracked and I wouldn't mine switching to these. Please feel free to drop me a PM so as not to hijack this thread. Thanks in advance...

Wow, what a beauty.
I'm struck by the irony that you have my two cars in one - an Arktisblau E28 and a car with an S54 motor.

Looks great-- i'm sure it is a blast to drive!

Just wow. It's perfect.

que?? Beautiful diamond...

That's a pretty neat car. Wow. Looks stock. A lot of swaps don't have that. Good luck with it.

Absolutely stunning Sia! When I first saw your E28 at the vintage I was blown away! I hope to see you again next year at VIR!

I love the fact that you retained the badges and made the car the ultimate sleeper. That things got a little m30 up front, riiiiight?

BTW, which variant of the S54 is in there? Reading the wiki page shows about 8 different ones from '01-'08 (excluding the Wiesmann) which all seem to vary a little in power output.

Thanks for sharing!

M20, judging from the badges

Well the only reason I went with the M30 was because the 525i had the m30b25, if it's a 525e, then yes, an m20, but the front badge doesn't show either, so I assumed it to be an i.


Edit: Just went back to look at the OP's sig, it's states that it's a 525i so I think that deems it to have had an m30. What do I know though, I'm the biggest n00b around this joint. lol

Ah. In that case, you were right -- I stand corrected!

Awesome swap. More interior pics, please.

Thank you guys for your nice comments, greatly appreciated!!!
Here are some more pics as requested; I will try to get some more interior pictures this weekend.

I'm in lust

Damn! Now my keyboard is full of drool! Great looking car and that "heart transplant" looks right at home!

Wow! It looks fantastic...great job!

My iPad screen needs a cleaning now.....
