There is a guy who has a Harrop M3 its a space grey E93, had a good chat with him about his car and he showed me the work done on it. Sorry I don't have his contact details but he is around Belco.

If you are looking at a SC its worth the effort to travel. Alastair Roberts at Bromspec BMW has one himself, its a Harrop kit, he's installed many.
You could also check with Costello's, they may pass on a name

How bulletproof is the engine once SC ? you guys had a smooth run ?

No problems for me other than the throttle actuators which packed up after 1000km. My advice would probably be to do the rod bearings, engine mounts and throttle actuators at the same time as putting on the s/c. Rebuild in the UK will rebuild the throttle actuators with a life time warranty for cheap. $5000 for both from BMW, $600 or so from rebuild!!

About 25000km I guess. Several track days, unfortunately lots have been cancelled this year
