awesome look forward to seeing more updates

finally my engine bay starts looking better, removed unneccesary brackets and all that ugly tectyl, also repaired small rust spots and painted it with air gun!

Love this build. I have a lachsilber touring too but mine is a 320 and i also own a 318is. I kind of wish my touring was a m40 as I have a spare m42 and would love an m42 touring

thanks man! :D i got an original 318is too, im driving it daily

Holy nuts this is gonna be cool!

thanks man :)

i always wondered about how to fit an m42 turbo manifold in there, surprised the g&t unit doesn't fit

yeah, it would have fitted with a regular t25 turbocharger, but not t28..

Great progress, looking forward to more :up:

thanks! slowly but surely! it will probably take me half summer to finish it, but it's getting there!

This is really cool. Sometimes I wish I had gone the turbo route instead of buying a 24v...

What are your power goals?

thanks! haha ye 16v is the way to go! too many 24v around my town! im trying to get 250-300whp for this summer! but later maybe even more
