worried about cooling at all? Honest question because I have to make a decision on a radiator soon.

SO today I finished the wiring including the electric fan, the car fires, idles and revs. The Boot I found is off an E12 I found at the junk yard. Oddly enough the m30 that is in the m12 uses a smaller version of he m30 afm; alomost exactly like the m20 afm. Though it uses a m30 afm sized air box. So it was PERFECT for going from the 325i throttle body to the m30 afm. Plus it is 1/4 inch thick plastic so no need for the mount I made for the afm. Since the wiring is all in car I had to extent the coil pos/neg. The coil is now located up behind the pass. headlight cover. So this photo is the car in driving trim sans two cooling hoses. Still trying to find out what hoses to use for the m42 swap. So check it out. Here is how she will look going down the road. Hope y'all like.

For the second half I say thanks. And thanks to everyone for the comments. I'll get some updates as soon as I make them.

So I'm sitting here looking over your engine bay and my wife pipes up...."Where's all the other stuff?"
I said, " It's shaved, its kind a look people shoot for."
"Well what's he going to do with all that extra space?"
- "It's suppose to look like that."
"He should make a warming drawer to fit by the exhaust and an extra storage compartment on the other side."
... So there you have it, you need a warming drawer and a stowaway compartment in that beautiful bay.
