I would take the cadge out of it and street drive that thing. I really like the fender flares and the "stance" that it has been set up with.

Some cars are modified into sleepers, while others are tweaked into an OEM+ style build. This E36 BMW wagon is neither of those things–quite the opposite, actually.
The big-ticket upgrades? The S54 engine from an E46 M3 plus a six-speed manual gearbox–and the massive fender flares, of course, courtesy of Pandem.
Seemingly everything that could be modified or customized was upgraded, be it the custom Avus Blau exterior paint, the Turner Motorsport CSL carbon fiber intake, the Supersprint racing exhaust, JBL speaker system, BMW Z3M instrument cluster or even the custom Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel.
Find this 1997 BMW M Sport Touring up for auction at Mecum on October 18.

Yeah, the cage might be a bit much for the street, but the swap, the stance, the flares and the colors....
That cage needs to gtfo. That thing could kill you in a low speed wreck.
We used to call those poser cages.
The rest of the car? Chefs kiss.
