bdi_fc, how does the loudness/exhaust note/etc compare to your E36 M3?

Oh - and how are the suspension and brakes since you haven't modded them?

It's louder than the e36 m3, especially above 4k rpm where it belongs.

The suspension has a stock feel. I'm pretty sure the previous owner replaced the front struts with Bilsteins. The brakes are fine, but with the 320 booster, they require some leg strength to really lock up.

To be clear: I have not yet smogged the car post swap.

However, it is my intent to have the car ref'd before the transfer/sale is complete.

Ohhh, up yours catcusjack lol. BDI, not doubting the job done at all. Just pointing out that there could be some small hang up here and there, and it should be pointed out before someone drives over an hour to go there for the purchase.... Thats all. Nice ride, and GL with the sale.

You are incorrect - if you look at his additional pictures, you will see the approval "BAR" sticker from CA, on his door jamb. That means that the car passed all emissions (visual & tailpipe emmissions) required by CA & has been approved to be licensed in this state.

The state requires any sale on a car, to have a current valid smog certificate in order for a title transfer (change of ownership) - this is what he is referring to when he offers to get it smogged! He is smartly, following the letter of the law & doing it right - just like it appears he has done the conversion right.

Very nice car & engine swap. Does it have a 5 lug swap?
When do the current tags expire?

Do you have any background info on this type of swap & the CA smog police? I've only seen one other swap like this in CA that had the "BAR" smog sticker (meaning that it passed the smog referee test). It sold in San Diego @ a year ago.

Thanks,
Jack

Looked at your album of all photo's & answered my own questions. Look's like a 4 lug & your pic of the door jamb shows you have already got the "BAR" sticker - it just needs a current smog to transfer ( CA law) the car to the new owner.
