New Parts

This was by far the most time consuming step of the entire swap. The decision to covert the S52 to OBDI evolved sourcing a few custom parts from Turner Motorsports or Bimmer World. These parts include the coolant hose adapter to allow the OBDI rubber hose to be used ($92 picture in the top right corner of the fist picture). This hose is needed to properly fit the new OBD one harness to the engine without interference issues and is highly recommended.
Next was the cutch and flywheel combination (more info later in the thread) these were sourced on Ebay for under $400 shipped and work quite well.

UPDATE PRESSURE PLATE MAY BE A KNOCKOFF BUYER BEWARE!!! Also Pressure plate bolts provided were 10.9 grade, OEM Bolts are 12.9. Solution: fastenal part number 35763

The slave cylinder is the part for an 97 M3 but any E36 M3 cylinder should world (Bav Auto)
I also replaced all of the electrical sensors with new ones just to ensure proper fit and operation longevity .
