Hi every one. Just popping in to say hello
My names Glenn. I own Botany Motor Worx Ltd in Auckland New Zealand.
We specialise in BMW's. I also sponsor another forum on the net.
I'll get my act together over the next few days and post up pictures of my car and a few details on the build.
I hope I can assist with help in here.. any help needed...just PM me

Cheers
Glenn

Yes.. I did it about 18 months ago. I'm running a Jatco at the moment with manual select. My plans are to go manual with UUC clutch set up and LSD. I'm also running a medium case 364 diff with E30 325Ms ABS axles

Will do over the weekend. I could post a thread from the other site I sponsor, but I'm not sure if that is allowed in here. I'm new so I must check out all the rules in here and play nice

What year is your car? I see you have the '97+ sidemarkers and in one pic it has the pre-'96 kidney grilles and '96+ grilles in the other pic. I did the same thing, switched to the older style because I like the way they look. Nice car BTW, welcome to the forum.

Edit; any interior pics?

looks nice, not feeling the ///M stripes on the hood and quarter panel but I guess I can't really say anything about your car
