I finally had room in the shop this last weekend, so I moved the 325i in and started stripping it. I pulled off the front, and got the exhaust off.

Does this look like a M3 exhaust to you? I probably won't be using it anyway, but it would be nice to know.

Also, I checked out the rear differential, and noticed that it was a 3.15 LSD. I'm not sure if I am going to sell it, or take it apart and shove it inside an E30 case. I guess it depends on what E30 differentials I find by the time I finish the engine swap.

Once the engine is out I am going to pull the valve cover and oil pan and have a little look around. Everything should be in working order, but I wouldn't mind double checking.

I did find an AC bracket and AC at the junkyard. $30 total, but it had no hoses. Oh well.
