            Thanks. I can't wait to drive it this spring!

            Maybe I did. #secretsobscuredbythebellhousing

            Anyways, the engine/trans are in. I had to make a bracket to mount the power steering pump today, but didn't take a picture. 

            Anyone know a good place to have custom power steering lines made up? Or should I just go the route of a compression fitting to AN?

              Hyquip does all sorts of custom hoses, most even made while you wait. I would definitely check them out first. Looking good by the way!

                          Thanks guys! I'll crash a BMW meet or two in this car this summer... park on the street or something. I can't wait for the meet "season" to get going. 

                          Progress and such. In-fender wiring pretty far along now. Waiting for the intake manifold to show up to finalize all the wiring that will be hidden under that.

                              Thanks TJ

                              Test-fit with the intake manifold. looks like the new fuel rail interferes with the strut brace, so that'll take some figuring.

                              These 17" RCs barely clear the caliper. Perhaps a bit close for comfort.

                                I thought my brake setup was cutting it close.  e46 330i brakes (325mm) with 16" contour reps.  I have less than 1/4" clearance.  From the pic it looks like tons of room for the caliper.

                                  The picture does look roomy, especially with the adapters on there. There is 1/16"-3/32" clearance between the caliper and the barrel of the wheel. It's VERY tight.

                                    On the bright side, it will be an automatic indicator if a wheel gets bent.
