I have surfed the forum but not joined for some unknown reason. Back when I did my swap, it was relatively new territory without much info on the web. We did 2 cars, a 1988 M3 and my 318 back in 2003. With school, kids and job unfortunately the car hasn't seen much pavement. But I put in a new chip and it transformed the car. Runs much better and I want to get her out on the track. Just need some new tires. A little info:

I am amazed at how many swaps are out there now. They are fun, fast cars.
The shop owner, Silverstar auto in SF, put a supercharger on his S52 but blew a rod. It was wicked fast.
