I'm also working on an M52 swap, though sometimes it seems more like researching & less doing.

As far I've found, if you delete the SAP, you're going to get CEL.
There's 2 solutions.
1. Flash DME to remove this requirement.
2. Get SAP emulator plug.
I'm planning DME flash, it's cheaper and I'm removing EWS also.

As far as moving the battery, my brother has an E36 coupe he races. He is moving the battery from the back and putting a smaller, lightweight battery in engine compartment. Should save 12-15 pounds of heavy gauge wire plus battery weight. Seems like a good solution for ti's too, less work than relocating and less weight.
