87 535is - getting started

[merl]

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

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.

[merl]

LOL .. I wish I would have seen you !!
