    My V8 6-speed swapped E30 heap.

    Took me almost a year and a half to get this to finally be able to register it.

    Stock M62B44 (non-vanos) 4.4L and 6 speed with small-case 4.10 LSD with a wicked whine.
    OBD1
    E36 5 lugs/brakes and terrible suspension.
    Currently on 18x8/9 Style 66's.

    Ruined.























    Just kidding, congrats! Enjoy it
    That small-case is probably not long for this world, especially with that engine. At least it's an easy enough swap when you find a medium case.

    What engine?

    I don't plan on doing regular smoky burnouts - any hard shifting will be 4-6th on track.

    No - it's pretty ugly under there - just a lot of flat black and mismatched wires, and a sketchy master cylinder setup
