What is your plan for the original Motor and tranny?
They have already been spoken for with deposits. Only the diff and driveshaft left over.
Sold my 510 for a nice profit unexpectedly. Now the S62 heads will getting a light mill, new springs and seals. ESS supercharger will be shipping to Trevor this week too

The dye work is coming out fantastic! Do you know what products are being used?

Valve covers and plenum getting powder coated in wrinkle black. The ribs on the valve covers will be brushed. Uppers on the door panels are black now too.

RK throttle plates. Didn't expect them to be anodized. Super nice!

Trevor got the M5 diff mounted.
Peter text me to tell me the bottom end and heads are assembled. Chains, guides, covers, oil pump, water pump etc will go on tomorrow. The plan is for Peter's business partner to deliver the assembled motor to Trevor on Thursday!! I hope to post photos later this eve when he downloads them!
Edit: Peter was also gracious enough to use his personal alternator for my build. He said the motor is too purdy to use a beat up one. Peter rocks!!

Some great shots from Peter. Trevor installed the BBK and now has the engine. Good things are coming.
Wow that's a clean/organizer workspace! Looking great, exciting progress!
been following on instagram for a while. that s62 is so purdy.
just such an awesome idea for a build. the execution is just that much better. what the hell is in the water in the mid atlantic? BMW super skills? like a quadfecta of bmw nuts all contributing to a super build. so cool

Just got back from a wedding. Been gone for 7 hours! Got this pic from Trevor while I was there

Probably a combination of the smell, sound, vibration, harsh driveline? My guesses
Yeah it was far from an ideal DD. I was having to push it out the garage when I would drive it to work to avoid waking my wife and son. It also would often set off my manager's car alarm in our parking garage when I left work .
Incorrect. The E38 will be the PERFECT daily.
