yeah it has bilstein sport shocks and H&R sport springs, catback exhaust, CAI, Dinan chip, Bav Auto front strut bar, the headlights, clears corners and tails, painted grills, B&M short shifter. I just ordered a new motor (M50 2.5L) on Monday from a company in California called Bavarian Engine Exchange (www.bavengine.com) They offer a Performance Upgrade option on the motors so I got that. They port and polish the motor, bore it out, put in performance cams. etc... and then I have a new Sachs clutch kit that im going to put in before I put my new motor in.
My headlights have angel eyes but the ground had somehow worked its way off the bolt it was on and thats why they arent on in the pictures and I didnt notice it until I looked at the pics last night.

the website says around a 20% gain over stock HP, the guy I talked with on the phone said that with my mods that I have on my car now I should be somewhere around 240HP so we will see. If I can run anywhere close to the M`s ill be happy!

oh hell yeah man when everything is installed go and hit the dyno

I know Im gonna try to find one to go to and see what kind of numbers im putting down. Nobody around here has a dyno.

2 bad things about getting the motor is 1. They said around 4 weeks before I get it because they have to build it and then its coming from Cali. and 2. There is a 1000 Mile break in period which im planning on knocking out in about a week or so, so that I can open it up!!

Seems like alot of work for a %20 gain over stock.

do you mind if i ask how much it was for the motor shipped

bmxdan388 · #13 (**permalink**) 02-25-2006, 09:03 PM

$5300 shipped to VA from Cali. You guys might think thats too much but either way to me its worth it for a motor with 0 Miles and its got a 5 year 100,000 Mile warrenty.

man that is alittle spendy with that you could have a s52 i saw on bimmerforums for sale a s52 with sunbelt cams or shrick p&p, s50 intake manafold ect with 8k on the motor for 4300 w/sunbelt cams or 3800 with the schrick cams but none the less it wil be good i do want to see dyno numbers when you get it all installed
