I was just getting ready to ask this. It does look really clean. Interior pictres? Is the engine dead?

[CorvallisBMW]

Cool! There aren't enough iX project threads

[TrentW]

Yes, tell us all what you've got planned for this.

Looks like tis will be a very nice build. Car already looks very clean. IXs are growing on me a lot... winter always does this to me.

i like how that ix A/C line is routed - and wonder if one could be swapped into an m42 car.
