    Thanks brosef! yeah man, after having an SMG parts car in my garage for a whole month, im super happy i didnt go that route. Seeing everything that could go wrong gave me nightmares.

    Those E46 M3s are sooo much fun to drive!
    Thanks a ton! The E30 still needs a TON of work. Debating if i should start going full racecar on her...The Speed triple is actually going to be sold this week to make room for the M3. I love it, but somethings gotta go!

    And the E46 M3 is so nice. It's my first E46 and my last!

    no, they were going bronzit sedan in my signature. the 02 went to another home years ago unfortunately. dumb mistake there, but i was young and poor and didn't have the garage to work on it.

    Thanks, I appreciate it. Motor is on the way, just need to plan out the bits and pieces. Josh F (e30josh) up in Anacortes is going to do the swap for me in at least partial exchange for me doing his and his brother's taxes. I don't have any space to do that kind of work.

    Truth! How did you go about fixing them? I know after a certain year, they were outfitted with Brembo brakes right??

    I wish those guys were doing the harness builds when I did my swap. Would have taken alot less time and they look so clean.
