      Oh and a new hood strut so the hood won't fall and hit me in the head again, and again, and again...

          That was my first and probably only car. It is hard work man. We primed and blocked it down 3 times, then did a couple coats of base coat, then quite a few coats of clear. I still need to go and have it buffed to get max shine out of it.


          The guys place we sprayed it at said he would charge 7k to do it! It cost me about 500 in materials and two weeks of my time.

                Intake is bolted down, valve cover is bolted down, oil is in, fuel rail is on, throttle body is on.

                Need to go get some more fuel line to extend it to the rail, and start plugging in the electrics. Looks like another junkyard run is in order to get the trottle cable bracket, and a few other small things.

                      That big 6 looks good. I like the black intake & valve cover. You do work fast installing the m30 in the 318i. Keep the pics coming.

                        Trying to start it right now. It won't do shit. I have some electrical smart friends making beepy noises with a multimeter.

                        So far everything on the swap is done except the exhaust and cooling system. And diagnosing the electrical problems.


                        Ill get back when there are more updates.

                          FINALLY got it fired up!

                          Started the swap on the 1st, and it came to life on today, at about 4:30 AM on the 24th.

                          Im happy with that timeline. My goal was to get it running, and possibly driving in under a month.

                          Heres the VID. Turn it up!



                          Video doesnt want to embed, heres a link
