Looking forward to seeing that beast get dropped into the car!

As a side note, the build quality NEARLY makes me wish I lived in California; I'd be over there getting work done in a heartbeat.

If building an M3 is your only motivation for considering living in California, you don't know what you're missing.

I'm assuming you'll be doing the GTS subframe as well? I'm really excited to see that part of the install. Also, if the OEM subframe parts are available for purchase, PM me a price please. I'm looking at these or the TMS ones. Obviously would prefer OEM.

Great job again. Build is disgusting/beautiful.

GTS subframe comes as one unit and you don't want to know the price

Bushings by itself are not available.

I would suggest going with TMS Delrin bushings vs solid aluminum.

Sick project... I don't even want to know the price of such a conversion.
