        LOL.

        I spent a lot of time last weekend messing with fabricating a catalytic converter replacement pipe and my welder. I was away this weekend so I didn't make any progress.

        I thought I had a reasonable solution for the heater core hoses, (Z3 2.8L) but they weren't going to fit. Instead, I got a pair of hoses from a E39 528i on order.

          Im looking forward to seeing how your brake setup works out, I hate how bulky my forward booster setup is and I only have room for the e32 master so the pedal feel is way too hard.

                good luck.

                for the ix: cut the ix oil pan in half. retain the front section with the axle hole. cut the s54 pan in half. retain the rear section with the sump. weld together.

                  Thats for an e30iX. The guy earlier was asking about a e46XI...my gut is that the M54 XI pan will bolt right up to the S54.

                    God damn it, stop bumping this thread. Every time I come back to this thread when it's bumped without any updates fredk wakes up with another unexplained condom in his rectal cavity.

                    Why? Because I don't kill kittens.

                          You'll notice that he edits his original posts to add to the build. Still want more though!
