        Swap looks good but after seeing those pics im definitely doing my own swap. I want to take the time to clean EVERYTHING meticulously, engine and engine bay. Spray paint/powdercoat engine parts etc.

          why no M50 manifold? and you might want to do something with that hot air intake you got. Maybe a heat shield?

          Awesome car though man.

            Nice car! Can't believe that for 10k they wouldn't wash the car and clean the engine bay though!

              Looks great, but I agree w/ Matt, they coulda atleast taken 10 minutes to wash the car and an hour or so to clean the bay while they were there.

                  I agree too-and while they were at it, they should have at least attempted to get the front M Tech II bumper/valence installed straight and reinstall the hood in with the proper alignment.

                  Not trying to put your car down by any means-I think overall it looks great and I admire you for putting all that money into the car to make it something special-but for that kind of money TSA should have taken care of some of those small details.

                  Enjoy your 'new' car!

                    Holy half assed over priced swap batman. $14k seriously? I would have done everything there for less than $3k, done it better, and it would have looked like it should, not how it does.

                            I could do it for 3k...because I already have an M3, it is free if it was paid for 5 years ago, right?

                            This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.
