It was back from the painter monday but I haven't been home since so no pics of the car.
The exhaust and complete piping have been welded, so now it just need a lot of polishing. The engine should be ready to put in either this or the next weekend.
Only major problem is retrieving the coil overs from Germany and the Racing clutch from OMP

Of course I can. And I'm looking bloody forward to it! If everything goes like planned we are going to a huge BMW meeting at Ring Knutstorp (former F1 track) in Sweden (~400 cars if the weather is good) and do some racing.

Well the last one he had, was sporting about the same power as he expect from this one, with the huge difference there is instant power instead of just lag until ~3000 RPM . But with a good set of tires, a decent suspension setup and a LSD its not that bad. But it should be able to make some nice slides
