A G82-generation BMW M3 Competition was totaled, so someone placed a much less powerful naturally aspirated inline six from an E46-gen 3 Series in the car.

The presence of a battered Sao Paulo Yellow G82-generation BMW M3 Competition at an insurance auction isn't particularly surprising; with 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque from its turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, even BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system can't stop overzealous drivers from overcooking a corner. But this M3 Competition is getting a second chance at life after enduring enough vandalism to be totaled ... and with, let's just sat, a more manageable level of power.

Apparently, the catalytic converter has also flown the coop. Astute readers will see that very few hoses and electrical connections from the M54 are actually hooked up to the M3, indicating this may just be a placeholder until another S58 engine can be sourced. With 39,445 miles on the clock, this M3 Competition appears to have lived a harder life than most, running on a salvage Georgia title after a collision and subsequent vandalism.
