As cheap as I am letting them go for, I say do it

As soon as it stops raining, I can finish your bumper too.

**M5Hunter** · 04-29-2013, 02:12 PM

I must admit, now that its in my hands, all 4" I/C piping seems a bit overkill

**bimerok** · 04-29-2013, 02:46 PM

Well, at least you will be building boost smoother

**RVAE34** · 04-29-2013, 09:24 PM

Just finished Clay's new bumper

**nsogiba** · 04-29-2013, 10:29 PM

looks great. is that a rep or OEM? Where are you folks sourcing yours?

**RVAE34** · 04-29-2013, 10:34 PM

His is a DDM. I got an Umnitza and it's 100% identical to the DDM. Same PN on the inside etc.

Wow! Wish you were near by. I'd plead with you to paint. Course, bumpers that nice would make the rest of my car look noticeably worse.

Seeing it makes me want to do my whole front clip. I'm with you...

thats gonna look sick showing off the intercooler.

so are you pretty much down to the piping and tuning?

awesome progress.

**M5Hunter** · 05-01-2013, 01:38 PM

I have a pile of little loose ends to tie up.

Made up the 3" pipe from the turbo to the I/C. Fits very well and clears everything fine. I also started making up all the 4" cold side stuff, but its not worth taking pics yet.

**RVAE34** · 05-04-2013, 04:07 PM

Dropped Clay's bumper off and took a few snaps.

**Jesus Freak** · 05-04-2013, 05:47 PM

Looking really good. Love all the huge piping, gonna have it coated or leave it bare?

**jmbarnes2** · 05-04-2013, 07:58 PM

clay hurry and get this big pig running.. i wanna see what you put down power wise with the turbo....... Im swapping in a LS2/3 something 6L into my E36 probably late summer and this will help be decide what way i want to go.

**M5Hunter** · 05-07-2013, 10:29 AM

Doing the best I can =)

Here is a shot of the cold side of the I/C piping

Some "minor" bumper trimming to clear the I/C

I need to come up with a way to secure it, but the stock grille will still fit!

**tptrsn** · 05-07-2013, 03:51 PM

Gonna leave it silver? I'd black it.

**Mr Brett** · 05-08-2013, 03:36 AM

Man this thing is badass. Can't wait to see where it goes from here

**phillye30fanboy** · 05-08-2013, 07:52 AM

OMG it's so sexy, can't wait for a video. Nice thread dude, my mom's old 2002 530i was a quick little thing. Imagine this! #sleeper

**98bimmer** · 05-09-2013, 01:08 PM

Looks good! Leave the IC silver!

**hefftone** · 05-09-2013, 09:37 PM

**M5Hunter** · 05-10-2013, 12:44 PM

**RVAE34** · 05-10-2013, 12:49 PM

Fire up the grill. Lots of meat.

**M5Hunter** · 05-10-2013, 04:43 PM

**hefftone** · 05-10-2013, 09:09 PM
