Hi mate and welcome, I've done this conversion on my old E30 325i, what does yours handle like as the engine has been mounted alot further forward than I had mine, I used a pedal box and took the standard servo out which meant I could mount the engine close to bulkhead

jonsmiff, what colours your M5, need to keep ma eyes open for it

fuzzy, spoke to you on sunday at the PF meet, car looked good

i noticed on this pic, drivers side strut top, follow the weld for the engine mount on the left, and their looks to be a almost horizontal line, is it a cut that's not been welded or just incase!
