Very impressive and nicely sorted build out. How long was it from start to finish? Guessing about a month of steady work.

Not you and your buddies first swap car obviously with the amount of detailed shots and the fact that we noticed 3 S50B32 in that one shot. Are you planning on build a fleet of them.

Hmm the build is coming up for around 4 years .. mainly because it sat for a good two years as I have other band commitments.

haha, No I only own two of those engines :) and this is my first swap .. just good research to get it to work and the right mind set I guess... My other engine I was planning on a full rebuild / 12:1 forged pistons / forged rods / Nitride crank / and locked Vanos / Group A cams / double valve srpings etc etc. However as with any good ressession the contracting market fell out and I was forced to go into a perminant job. So priorites changed on that one :)

Great build, Love the details and can't wait to see it up and running. You think you can spare one of your motors:mrgreen:

Cheers, haha I am infact selling the one without the headers attached to a friend soon.

Oh the White / red touring for who ever asked before is for the BMW Race Series here in NZ. its a 318i ... looks hot however :) Will be finished later this year.

The place that Im using is a friends .. he has some pretty kick as BMW's in it. A mint Tech2 with 2.7 conversion and Tech2 with 2.8 conversion. couple of M-Coupes, 540i 6speed, Tech2 e39 540i MS, 325i Tech2 Cabbie in sterling grey and a bunch of other stuff.
There is talk of doing a 318ti s50b32 conversion and a v8 something conversion with a m60b40 tu
