great start, m power is the way to go!

[WannaBe30]

Not much to add except the h and r springs are on threw the wheels on for the hell of it

All ac lines and condenser removed, removing cruise and cleanin up engine bay break booster adjusted and painted flat black as well clutch and all is ready

Still lacking wires m50 manifold and driveshaft
Also exhaust still needs to be fabbed up but a lot of good progress

Here's the only pic I got for now

[WannaBe30]

Finally got the m50 intake manifold so progress should go a lot faster

And removed the stickers even if they do add horsepower sacrifice had to be made!

[WannaBe30]

Haven't updated in a while. Progress has been slower than I expected but still moving along.

Sensors all plugged in radiator in throttle body and injectors in brake booster in its final location. Intake has been slightly trimmed to fit. Exhaust is in the works at the moment. Shifter and linkage is done. Still trying to find half of a driveshaft. Still need the harness to be completed before starting to crank. Now for the fun part here's a few pics.

Thank God. I saw a beautiful couple and when I made my way around to the back I saw those same exact tail lights that could only have come from hell. But good looking car +5 HP per letter on the BMW PERFORMANCE sticker haha.

And did i see a stick on vent on the fenders?

[Mr Mpower]

hi, nice sleeper and fast evolution!
can you tell me more about the driveshaft?
the s52 has exactly same dimensions than the m52 true?

[WannaBe30]

Lol performance stickers gone side grills gone taillight a will be gone today hahah some people love stick on anything!


The s52 And m52 are exactly the same size

Driveshaft should be e36 m3 or 328 driveshaft but it depends on what tranny and rear u go with

the tranny is the stock for the m52b28 of a 528.
when you say m3, you means m3 US with s52 engine, not the m3 eu with s50 engine.
thanks!
