S54-Swapped BMW E30 M3 Triumphs in One Lap of America

A 1988 BMW E30 M3, transformed by Mike D’Abreu with an S54 engine swap, claimed victory in the Vintage Class at the 2022 One Lap of America event. The car was equipped with the drivetrain from a Z3 M coupe, custom suspension, and a big-brake kit, ensuring high performance and reliability. Driven by D’Abreu and co-driver Neil Simon, it finished 18th overall against a competitive field. This build beautifully merges old-school charm with modern power, making it a standout entry in the event.
