Car is in transport to my house, new headlights ordered, and some other odds and ends.
Now I know the factory BMW electronics are a pain. (So dont lecture me that it cant be done). I intend to keep all the factory gauges and electronics in tact. Its going to be a 6 speed manual trans but what engine?
should it be a 348Ci or a 360Ci ?

There's already been one E46 build completed on here, by a member in the UK, so don't let too many people try and scare you off. Sure it may be more work than a 240SX or E36 car, but the E46's are oh so sexy.... Keep us posted! Me personally, I'd try and find a L33 5.3L to have the aluminum block to keep the weight down as much as possible.

Thanks for the input guys, I have read the thread on the guy from the UK, there was also another blip of another from someone in England. I did read about the crank trigger, I will figure out more when the car is here. Then I can check sensors and get output readings.
