      Fuck the Euro M20. Go with the big six. I'm still looking for a B35 head. =\

      There is a 735i at the local junk to me.

      The 735i engine bay looks similar to this

        After a marathon weekend, the engine is in and it STARTED !! ... Ran a heat cycle on it and did the final head torque. There is a handfull of things to button up and I do seem to have some tune issues but there was no time left for troubleshooting as I was exhausted ... Freakin thing sounds wonderful at idle though  :o

                                This is true, I just saw it out around Hampton ave and Green Bay Rd. I changed routes and tried to catch up but the mighty M30 was too much for my 4 door luxury Camry.

                                Looks incredible!!!!

                                my friend pointed it out to me and was stoked too, even though he isnt a BMW guy.
