Christian Ebsen 2004 BMW 330Ci

The car is a 2004 BMW 330ci. Was the original m54b30 engine with a 6-speed transmission, but had an issue when I got it and I couldn’t get it to ever run correctly. Its setup now is a 6.0 LQ4 from a Chevy 2500 pickup. It’s backed behind a transmission out of a Pontiac Solstice. Everything and all BMW wiring has been taken out and has been all rewired by myself.

My name is Christian. I’m a Midwest guy living in the centre of the US, Iowa to be exact. I’m a welder/fabricator which has helped me advance in my car hobbies.

What got me into cars was the lifelong of family members that have had the car passion run in their blood. As I got older and started to hang around the people that had car meets in my area, I started gaining more friends in the community. Eventually, I ended up getting my first car which was a 1995 Honda Civic that became my first “cool” car. I did all the work of lowering it, swapping it with a b series, and giving it the stance look to it.

Over some years and getting deeper into the car community I started gaining friends in a different part of the car community, that was the drifters. Watching those guys go out and have fun throwing a car into corners impressed me and made me want to give it a shot. Which brought me to my first drift car. That was a 1998 BMW 328is. That was the car that started my driving habit. I drove that e36 for 4 years. It taught me so much, especially showing the difference between cheap parts and expensive parts.

Gave me all the seat time I could ask for in 190-200hp. This brings me to my most current vehicle which is my 2004 BMW 330ci which I LS swapped. This car I bought in October and installed an LS in by April. It has been tearing it up ever since and just continues to get better! 

The car is a 2004 BMW 330ci. Was the original m54b30 engine with a 6-speed transmission, but had an issue when I got it and I couldn’t get it to ever run correctly. Its setup now is a 6.0 LQ4 from a Chevy 2500 pickup. It’s backed behind a transmission out of a Pontiac Solstice. Everything and all BMW wiring has been taken out and has been all rewired by myself.

The engine bay of the car when I first got it was stained black from all of the oil leaks and power steering leaks it had. It was then cleaned and had the engine bay resprayed the same colour as the car before the LS was installed. I managed to maintain all the factory interiors and even managed to figure out how to keep all the stuff functioning.

I chose this car because, after 4 to 5 years of learning the BMW chassis, I have found it to be a great performing chassis. BMW has always made the car perform and with some slight modifications, you’re able to make them perform even better. This is why I’ve stuck with the BMW chassis. I modified it because I wanted more power NA wise and the LS platform is so simple and is like legos to put them together. So little can go into them to make some decent power. Then I modified it suspension wise to make it perform at its best for the driving it’s put through.
