Wiring does look like a hot mess, but I appreciate the concept, but does an LS1 really add another 9-10k to the price tag?

That bay looks awful. Much rather have an Ls1 in something unique like an FD over a BMW anyday.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. The only difference is most people don't waive their asshole all over the internet.

Its overpriced because he's trying to part the car out, the 18k was his highball if anyone wanted to try and take the whole thing from him.

After meeting that VA Tech Alumni at the autox and the car show and getting to ride in his car (which looked more sorted than this one to be fair), and hearing how difficult the swap was, I have props for anyone that pulls it off correctly, even if the engine bay is a mess.

This consistent BMW hate all over MM lately is starting to piss me off. Yes, some of us have them, some of us love them, just like Matt and his undying love for Fords.

From what I know, they have the same chasis as the usdm type R so they handle very well. Never knew why more people didnt track them

They look like M-Parallels to me :dunno:

I always thought those were some of the best looking OEM wheels, they look great on E36, E39, E38...actually any pre-2000ish BMW

They are chrome M-Parrallels, and look horrendous on an M3 (exactly what I said above), they are to die for on E38s, especially long-wheel bases. My opinion. Joey, we hate when we want to (and come on I own an M3, I can hate it all I want). :lol: If he did at least a half-decent job on wiring (its not that hard, people are way too lazy), and got some decent wheels it *might* command that price.

Anyways, back on topic....DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL....
