Well my swap is almost complete. I got the engine started today, it was music to my ears. All thats left is the exhaust then i just have a few odds and ends. I cant wait.

What kind of exhaust setup are you going to be running?

i would also be interested to hear about your exhaust setup.

what car did you install the motor in? I'm working on a '91 318is and I gotta start figuring out the wiring. Post more details please. My motor should go in about a month from now...I hope

I am using the midpipe and cat for a 95 m3 and a b&b triflow cat back for the same m3. It was hard to get the midpipe in place but once i did it all fit with no modifications to the exhaust. Im using the treehouse cabs for the extra clearance on the downpipe. All i had to do was hang the exhaust in place with wire and get a muffler shop to weld in hangers. The triflo sounds really good i cant wait to drive it around

Its a 87 325i. Its using the stock tranny. Which bolted up perfectly and bending the shift linkage was really easy. Im using the treehouse harness which in my opinion is worth every dime, all i had to do was plug it in and everything worked perfectly. the radiator is from the 95 m3.

I did my swap to a '91 M3. Its a S50 with the ZF trans. The exhaust is going to be 3 in back to a magnaflow.

Its a 87 325i. Its using the stock tranny.

Did you make a custom tranny mount for it? What does it look like?

the guys at treehouse sent two tranny bushings that fit perfectly, but when the guy on this forums gets those billet braces im going to get that instead
