            Yea been sourcing around for some m40 fogs. definitely agree with ya on that. As for the eyebrow's, I guess that's personal preference. :)

              E36 M44 or E36 M42 in there?

              I was expecting a 318is, but I'm seeing a 4 door.

                It was originally running an m40 . Swapped in an m42 mid 2010. My bad, it's not an is. its a convert. pardon my ignorance.

                  When you did the e36 engine swap, did you integrate that manifold to actually work? How do you like the difference in torque?

                      The extractor had to be modified in order to fit. but all in all the converstion was a success with minor obstacles. It was done by a local bimmer specialist.
                      Loved the difference in power. the m40 and m42 are worlds apart. especially at higher revs. I don't feel the need to drop gears when overtaking anymore at high speed (on highways). Looking to get a custom extractor done(labour here is cheap) and convert to an electric fan as well.

                          Cut those exhaust tips in half!

                          Edit: Right where they start to angle upward.

                            Fogs and brows are my only tiff, otherwise.. love it.

                            Any interior shots?

                              You could burn somebody with those muffler tips.
