Do the drivetrain swap from the Z3 to the 318ti -- you'll love it! Since my February post above, I have completed my S52 swap (replacing the M52), while also swapping in a Z3 steering rack and M3 front hubs/brakes. My car is transformed (again!). You can sell off the Z3 carcass after you get the 328ti going... __________________
