It looks a million times better, however I still have a few tricks up my sleeve so you'll be getting another project eventually. Just gotta round up some parts

love this 325is, beautiful. I believe I saw you a few weeks ago pulling into the Safeway parking lot in Shawnessy? Would have been a late Saturday morning.
I was curious about the M badges after seeing no wide body, however makes sense now knowing its a techII.

That was me you saw before we did anything on the car. Its come a long way since then. Car is definitely slowly growing on me and I do enjoy driving it.

Havent updated this in quite some time, but here are some parts I've acquired over the past year (many of them yet to be installed):

E3010 Lukebox (custom sub box) with amprack
MTechnic door handles
Finished putting on my black CF badges front and back

and today I picked up a healthy E34 540i that will soon become a noble heart transplant donor. Should make for a pretty interesting summer

Oooooo, can't wait for juicy details on this swap. Awesome choice, glad you're deciding somewhat more original than the usual.

Re: A taste of whats to come...

Let the games begin!!! Spend the last few weekends with friends tearing apart the E34. As this was my first engine pull, this was.....interesting.....to say the least lol. Started out like this...


Then got it to this point...


Realized I may be in a bit over my head so bought some motivational fluid...


That helped and with the help of some friends got it to this stage...



Got the transmission apart from the engine, the engine is on a stand and ready to be picked apart and freshened up. This weekend I just need to pull the rest of the wiring harness from the donor car, and whatever other parts I feel are worth pulling before scraping it. Thanks again to everyone who helped out in getting it to this stage!

Should be a fun little project. Stay tuned!

Re: A taste of whats to come...

Are you going to rebuild it? I've always wanted to do a BMW inline 6 out of an e36 or something and just rebuild it back to factory spec and make it like a new motor.

Re: A taste of whats to come...

More of a refresh than a rebuild. I plan on taking it apart, inspecting it, and replacing whatever needs to be replaced aside from the major components like pistons, crankshaft, etc. I guess we'll see how things look once I start tearing into it.
