      Nice. Wish I could find one that color. Have any bright sun pics so the metal flake shows?

        That color is really nice. Clean eta, I wish I still had one. I am jealous of your dashboard.

                  Finally got around to putting on the AB knee bolster, Since my dash was a 91' and so was the center console all I needed was the lower column surround and it was on. Going to be buying all new bumper surrounds for the front and rear and then hopefully with my tax return I'll be able to buy a set of Kevin's front seat kits to match my rear seat.

                          With school and work, I dont know if my car will be done by then. If so I'm down though.

                          Prob should update this a little, Well exterior is finished and interior is finished minus waiting for seat kits from Kevin. I'm currently rebuilding the entire suspension and brake systems;
                          m3 CAB's
                          91 housings
                          rear wheel bearings
                          front hubs with bearings
                          every hard brake line+dist block
                          E-brake shoes+springs+hardware
                          trailing arm bushings
                          subframe bushings
                          sway bar components fr+rear
                          axles
                          rebuilt ATE calipers front+rear
                          z3 shifter
                          poly diff mount with the cover reinforced
                          3.73LSD+ spare 2.93LSD+4.10LSD :)
                          325i oem exhaust
                          325i cat/ downpipes
                          all new heat shields
                          motor mounts+trans mounts
                          rebuilt driveshaft
                          Alum radiator
                          pc'd front+rear subframe,trailing arms,trans mount, strut housings gloss black
                          plus every nut/ bolt that can be bought for the brakes/exhaust/suspension ... after the swap all thats left to do is H&R race springs, billy sports, GC caster/camber plates, GC RSM's


                          Then I bought this:

                          It housed a 282/272 BMP cammed m20, everything in the head is brand new, bottom end was rebuilt, trans was gone through, and the 3.73LSD has been gone through as the PO was a BMW tech at my work. I'm putting the entire harness in my car aswell as the entire drivetrain so good bye m20b27
                          Heres the most recent picture of it:

                              I finally had enough time to get the engine up off the floor and onto a stand. I pulled the valve cover off and was impressed...




                              The receipt for the cam from BMP reads:
                              282/272 11.5/11.0 110 128805

                              With this cam what do you guys think I should run for injectors/ software/ exhaust? When I drove the car home it felt pretty good, from 4k+ it pulled nicely, ran smoothly at idle... once I got it home I was looking at it and realized it was on stock injectors and stock exhaust, what is the preffered injectors and exhaust for this size of cam or is stock sufficent?

                              Also are those stock oem head bolts? IIRC arent stock ones hex heads? As for the springs, these are dual springs with a yellow paint marking on them, is this stock or after market?
