I would say that near half of all e36 and e46 M3s and e39 M5s in Norway is cars that have been rebuilt from 320i/318Ci/520i and so on with a original donor car from Germany, the UK or the US. It's very common due to our taxes on cars.

Due to this, there's also several e36 M3 tourings, e46 M3 sedans and tourings and a few e39 M5 tourings as well.

Nice OP can't wait to see pics of the finished product. If everyone did the same mods ish would be boring anyway so don't mind all the negative comments.

Now this thread makes a lot more sense when seeing from that light...

Thanks for the explanation.

These type of laws makes as much sense as the 25 years import law in the US.

Any progress on the project ?

So would you be buying a complete donor vehicle to do the transplant? I'd think this is the best way since you would have access to a complete car. That's my line of thinking anyways.

Its amazing that anyone on this forum would ask why or question the idea...if the questioning is just out of curiosity then I understand but questioning negatively makes no sense. Nearly everyone on this forum has done some type of mod to their car. The majority of us on this forum have done significant mods to our cars. Regardless of whether its a lot or a little, its all for the same reason. To personalize our cars the way we want them to look, regardless of whether someone else likes it or not. Preferably we hope the mods we make are appreciated by all but sometimes thats not the case.

The only thing different here, is that he is taking the mods to the most extreme. I personally think that is very, very cool and to watch the transformation unfold is almost as much fun as being the one doing them. The pain for all of us is that it can never be fast enough. The best part will be when its complete and he gets to drive it away with all of that work completed, knowing he has a one of a kind like no other in the world.
