The test fit for the E60 M5 diff went well. Direct Bolt-In which is great news for future E53 swappers as it is a super cheap way to upgrade to a 3.62 LSD for less than $400. Intercooler is getting the finishing touches on it and then the exhaust from the downpipe back will be done.

What is the I/C rated for? Seems a little small. Very cool swap.

Not a huge update but finally putting on the finishing touches before drivetrain gets pulled to be gone thru. 4" from the Downpipe back. Converted to Throttle by cable as well. Driveshaft should be done this next week.

Man, I wish I'd seen this when you were getting this started. I'd have asked you to make another set or two of those motor mounts. My parents have a couple of these that they bought cheap (3.0 thought), and I'd love to do something similar with the one with a bad transmission. If you have any interest in selling a set, I'd be interested.

TCI Outlaw Shifter finally came in after weeks of waiting on the part. Really wanted to go with the stock bmw shifter but I ended up going this route. Driveshaft turned out pretty slick. Getting close to the complete teardown stage and then final assembly. All hot side parts will be ceramic coated satin black. I will be running a Holley Terminator X Engine Management System. Haven't picked my Torque Converter out yet. Lots of options out there for my 4l80e.
