Well, my swap is done. The car completed over 1000 rigorous miles to Bimmerfest '11 and back. The car took 2nd place in the Modified class.
Here's an updated mod list and specs on everything... I'm sure I forgot some mods and details but you get the idea... many more photos of progress on the build are here:

I'm not sure what just happened but all I know is I liked it.

My exact thoughts! Well done Ryan. Any videos?

my lord

I would cringe at every hole on the roads around here with those control arms. Must say your brave running a race control arm on public roads. I might consider running them in some areas of Germany but even there the roads are not perfect.

How are you liking the added HP and Tq from the 2.5L? Is that pickeled in the corner of your shop so some day down the road you can reinstall it if needed?

[cmonti]
