<![CDATA[Obligatory New Member Post [With Pictures]]]>Hello everyone, just found this forum so I figured I'd join and introduce myself. I've been into BMW's for 6 years now, and am becoming increasingly passionate (read: obsessed) about cars. It started with enjoying driving, moving from maintenance to modifications, and on to some autocross and track time/racing. I live in downtown Milwaukee, I work as an engineer and will be finishing up grad school soon.

On to the cars...In winter I drive a 96 328iS, but whenever I can it's my 1999 M Coupe:

I trailered the car here from Kentucky with a ripped up rear floor/diff mount that I needed to repair:

Aside from repairs, my only real modifications so far are urethane bushings, a tighter steering rack, and Stromung exhaust. In the next few months though, I plan on swapping this s54b32 in:

Not BMW content, but I've also gotten involved in Lemons racing this last season, so much fun:

Glad to be part of the Wisconsin BMW community, hope to see some of you around at meets!:cool:

Looking forward to seeing this one come together!

It's mostly reassembled now, just needs to be timed.

very nice. How is the progress on the motor swap?

Still gathering all the random parts needed. I'll hopefully change the rod and main bearings in the next couple weeks, then start on swapping.

Nice M3 by the way, I'm a fan of the LS1 swaps too.

I'm sure they'd be more than willing to add another car to their convoy ;)

Hmm, This is all I can find at the moment, I'll have to take more this winter. I might be able to make the meet next week.
