[softg]

Thanks guys.
Still have a few other things not pictured;
335i rear bumper
M3 skirts
And after a drunken late night ebay.de run I have an S65 4.4 V8 from an 09 M3 on it's way! One of those "might as well bid, not going to win anyways" situations. That will more than likely be next seasons project though.

Love this board, a great source of motivation!

You're crazy how much did you pay that S65?

Surprisingly cheap, after shipping about 3k.
In talks with Apex Speed Technology on a harness adaptor, they did the M5 V10 in an E30 M3 swap.

You know the S65 is just a 4.0, not a 4.4 (even it have a stroker kit on it)

Some have seen my previous parts thread and quite a few were interested in my airbag setup.
I have almost completed collecting parts and am planning to finish in the next two weeks, please excuse the phone shots;

Shot of the air tank

The bags

Gauge setup; two dual needle for monitoring bag pressure, center for tank pressure in EAS triple gauge pod in old ashtray position

New heater controls with integrated heated seat switches in my double din frame


This weekend I will work on mounting up the compressor and starting to work on switches location. In the center console shot you can see my template to the right that will hold four switches. This will be remade in aluminium and mounted in the change cubby for ease of access.

Latest update:
Got the new heater controls mounted and a test fit of the new gauge pod; running lines is going to be a bitch under the center console!
Also mounted the compressor in the trunk storage cubby and a first draft of the switch pod with distribution block that will fit into the coin tray. this is going to be remade in aluminium once I finalize dimensions.

I have a manifold almost like that. Did you get it on Ebay?

Can't wait to see this.

Local auto parts store had them surprisingly; only $5 a pop too.
Hoping to test them for leaks tomorrow.

So some of you have been following this thread and my one-day air install lol
Well I ended up trading in that car on a 335i and have been very quickly transferring over all my parts.
No shots yet of the interior mods, and my bags are STILL not on yet but very soon.
But I did finally get my long-waiting wheels mounted up today. MK Motorsports 20x9 with 225/35 and 20x10.5 with 245/35's

tuck 'em

Bit of an update;
Finished my bbk install today, ran the air lines and wired up the gauges..
Just need to mount tank, add power and connect!

[SourSamo]

Figured I would head out tonight and grab a few shots.
Certainly not a professional photographer but a few turned out ok.









And a few post wash club sticker shots
