        what did you need to do to get the e36 m3 5-speed to work in that car? which clutch/flywheel are you using?

          UUC 8.5lb flywheel with e34 m5 clutch. They are about $1100 and worth every penny. Holds all the power and has been in the car flawlessly for 7 years. The ZF 5spd came on S54's in the Z3M roadster so it's "stock" for this engine setup. Driveshaft is original to the car and trans brace/etc is original bmw as well.

            Incredible car! I'm not so sure I'm into the 19s, but it's too great otherwise to matter.

                        Yup, comparatively, I am a bit over 12 years, don't post as much as I used to and am over 7k

                        Ryan is too busy building amazing cars to post.

                        lol

                          Maybe 50 posts in last 6 years, I'd say that's low... maybe I should have said "I don't post much anymore" lol

                            Haha all good! It was early in the morning and coffee hadn't kicked in yet.

                            Just curious, what happened to the original S14 that was in it?
