    Hi,
    Super nice build buddy.
    I also agree the 740i short version is
    a fantastic daily driver.
    Off the stop light no car can touch you, easy to carry that
    weight around. I found the M62 not so quick on top end
    and hi speed but, yea, never meant to be fast in that area.

    Same swap will follow to my 97 840ci. I am DD the E31 with
    M62 and with updated differential from 850 2.65 LSD I build
    make it easy around town and freeway, improved gas mpg noise
    and still quick ones you drop a gear.

    The S62 will be a lot more fun that is for sure.

    I am not sure why did you go SC ?
    well, make great power but with me it's "love and hate thing" !
    I have own one SC car and the last, I am not too happy with the engine
    drag always makes and unnecessarily heat even when cruising !!!
    but you are located on East Cost so you are fine not for So.Cali.

    Good luck and keep us update.

    Regards
    Anri

    Awesome. That's quite the Christmas gift. What's your thoughts on the blown s62?

    I love it. Pulls so smooth and hard. very linear. You don't really feel the blower come on. It just starts pulling with what seems like unlimited power above 40 or so. Highway passes are amazing.

    Awesome. Once I sell the m30 I'm doing either a blown s62 or s54. What does the s62 rev to in your setup? I'm tempted by the lighter weight and higher revs of the s54.

    Thanks!!

    My diff had a slight whine to it and the pinion seal leak has gotten progressively worse. Thayer is building me a fresh 4 clutch M5 diff with their upgrade kit. Should be done and installed on Friday. Looking forward to seeing how that feels.

    Got my new plates, had all paint chips touched up and the hood, fenders, door bottoms and rockers clear wrapped with Xpel. They needed more time for the full front bumper and the rear bumper sides will also be done. (btw, MLB's Justin Verlander had his wicked 911 in getting detailed which I added pics below). Installed all 4 new rotors. Zinc slotted 355x32 rings and mounting hardware up front, 750 stop tech slotted in the rear to match and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads on all 4. I have always loved Racing Dynamics RD2's and when I found a used set pop up for a great price, I couldn't help it. Will now have 2 great sets of 19's to run and will likely do summer performance on the BC's and all season on the RD's.
