yeah nice. ;D i agree with benny s52 obd1 conversion is good for a bit more bump, but an s50 is obviously no slouch. i just ordered $400.00+ worth of suspension goodies from bimmerworld, so i’m pretty excited. now just need some new rubber. keep us updated on the build. i think you, me, jesse, and ben should have an e36 shoot when it gets nice out, and mine comes out of hibernation. ---
