You seems to know quite a bit about these forums yet have a grand total of 7 posts.

And you really are?

But agreed and I want to see this car in action soon.

Thank you longboarder.
Sorry everyone. Wiring is taking a little longer than expected. With big projects like these having PATIENCE is the key. This has been a 9 month project and counting. I will have real updates soon soon soon!!!

The one who speaks the most is not necessarily the wisest. Also, you don't have to post to read forums... And I really am what? Supporting the OP and excited to see how his project turns out? Yes I am both of those things. Also, I didn't make a personal attack, thank you very much.

Sorry Sti2e92sedan, I really am hyped about how your project comes out even though it is a long one, and I hope all is well in the meantime!

No problem here. We are all project enthusiasts that love projects like these. I would have opted for a LS engine but it's not the same as the v10 I'm looking for that f1 sound. Not looking for any power just an amazing ride that maybe a a one of a kind.

Keep posts coming.

Hi Sti2e92sedan.
Firstly, great project, I hope your guys aren't having too many problems working through the wiring issues ?

To the best of my knowledge the E90 and E91 engine bay architecture are indentical. The S85 V10 into E91 conversion has been done over here in Europe by Manhart some time ago.

Not wishing to "rain on your parade" but the E90 M3 sedan S85 conversion has already been done over here in Europe too by these guys :

Good luck with the project, keep us updated and look forward to seeing your startup video

Can't believe you had a smooth transaction with Troy Juep, I fought him for several months over pure negligence on his behalf and there seems like a lot of Internet history saying no one should risk it. Awesome build thread!

SECOND2NONE · 04-12-2014, 05:08 AM

Why do people constantly dig up this thread.. Its a dud.. Really dont see the point of starting a thread a year before a project may finish... Especially if your not updating it..

coloradoe92m3 · 04-12-2014, 10:22 AM

You just added to the dud thread tho

Because we can, and b/c the OP asked us to.
