I have my reservoirs in approx same location. mount them as high as you can above master cylinders and check your clearance to make sure you can sill remove the valve cover. GL with your project

Minor Update.
Mounted the E39 oil filter housing to the drivers side of the engine bay. Not sure if I love it but its out of the way and accessible here. Used a E39 filter mount bracket and rubber mounts to take away some of the shock. Need to hook up the drain line still. It's hard to tell in the pictures, the SS lines aren't rubbing on the frame rail, they are about a quarter inch above it.
If I had more time, patience, money, and determination, I make a custom mount and use AN lines. But I don't.
Also thinking about where to mount these brake fluid reservoirs. I like them on the firewall. Also thinking about mounting my C101 holder to the right side (left in the picture) of the fuse box.
Critiques appreciated. Will post brake system pictures next.
My plan is to finish the brake system
Fix the passenger side exhaust manifold
Bolt in the core support using tabs welded on
Install the cooling system using an Z3M radiator, not sure on coolant tank yet
Installing engine harness and custom C101 harness
Figure out a shifter and a driveshaft
Fuel lines, power steering system, other odds and ends
Have dual exhaust built using Magnaflow mufflers or something similarLast edited by JoeMadoo; 11-20-2017, 11:34 PM.

Looks like a promising project!
For those of us not in the US, what are the requirements for the BAR?
Make sure you keep plenty of detail on the wiring!
Lol. I love mine so far.
Good luck with the swap. Sub’d
And if he's no longer running an M60 in the E28, I might buy the mounts and mount arms from him.

You go through a visual inspection where they check everything, and then they put it on the sniff test.
The exhaust manifolds is one of the most difficult parts of getting a 32v swap BARd in california. The X5 manifolds aren't legal, so that option is totally gone and it is difficult to get the stock manifolds to work. You aren't really supposed to modify the exhaust, so to make them fit you almost have to do what you need to do, and then hope you have a lenient inspector.

So how do they police it? I assume an inspection, do they check the part numbers to ensure you're not using an E30 airbox with the V8 for instance?
How do they treat modified components, for instance the exhaust manifolds which dont fit?
Barring those and the cats (depending on age) I'd be installing it all anyway!

You don't by chance happen to have a build thread for this, do you?
Nice excited to see how this goes!
