I will be running 18's on my S50 ti as 18's will be needed to clear the brakes. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

Got the coils today, good thing I went home for lunch so I don't have to pick them up at postal office later. Now the car has a whiny transmission issue when its cold, along with a strange oil leak that I can't find, have to figure out when bringing it into the shop. next up, M3 bumper. | | | 01-19-2012, 06:42 PM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 | shipping isn't much, flat rate USPS.

Also bought Racing Dynamics 17x8 RGR wheels for it. | | | 07-09-2012, 04:31 AM | #27 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Fl Posts: 1,353 | Very nice. Looks like a clean swap. Post up some pictures with the RD wheels when you get them mounted. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

The swap took a LOT longer than expected mainly due to engine seller's mistakes, I bought an engine as a whole or so I thought, until he said if I wanted power steering lines, steering pump, other misc bits are extra after he dropped the engine off. | | | 07-09-2012, 04:26 PM | #30 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Fl Posts: 1,353 | Quote: Originally Posted by Chigga The swap took a LOT longer than expected mainly due to engine seller's mistakes, I bought an engine as a whole or so I thought, until he said if I wanted power steering lines, steering pump, other misc bits are extra after he dropped the engine off. | That is pretty standard. If you buy a complete engine from the dealer it does not even come with an intake manifold. Sellers generally charge extra for accessories if they have them. This is part of the reason that buying a wreck is such a good way to go if you are considering a swap... you will have everything you need. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!
