A few other neat little details worth discussing.

The factory E36 X-Brace fit and cleared the N52 with no modification. It was close, but did clear by a few MM's. A Motion Motorsport underpanel was used to improve aero and add some rigidity to the bumper. E36 M3 OE front bumper lip was added to protect the factory bumper paint. In the event of any front end scraping, the lip can easily be replaced.



A Lithium Ion battery was re-located to the trunk area where the spare tire tools are located. The new battery weighs under 2kg and we have about 1,500 miles of testing on it. No issues with extended periods of sitting or cold starts. Battery used was: WPS Featherweight Lithium Battery HJ51913-FP-IL. Non ti E36 power cables were used to route through the cabin to the battery junction box.

You may have noticed that there isn't a visible washer fluid reservoir. The E36 M3 SMG Euro windshield washer reservoir setup was used in this case. We used the Euro rad cover and all factory OE BMW parts to relocate the reservoir behind the bumper. Photos attached although they are NOT my photos:
