3.) Differential (my 3.46 e28 LSD wont work?)
4.) Tranny & Driveshaft (will my driveshaft and tranny work? What would be the difference in switching over for an M tranny?)
5.) I will need to take my car to the dealer for EWS?

What else?
1) you WILL need the instrument cluster
2) your exhaust WILL work with a "Y" pipe(although the dual exhast will be nicer)
3) Your differential WILL work fine
4) Your tranny WILL work, but the ZF is said to be tougher than your Getrag tranny. You'll definitely need an M3 or better clutch and flywheel eitherway.
5) Yes, you'll need the dealer to reallign the EWS. It costs about $120

along with the obvious components ie; wiring harness, ECU, ignition, cluster, etc, you will also need the alternator, power steering pump and resevior, a/c compressor and hoses/lines, radiator, coolant hoses, belts, battery?, and IIRC you already upgraded your brakes. Also, if possible get the cruise control module and wiring/relays/actuator. You're probably going to want to do an ASC delete if the s52 ecu has it incorporated.
