exhaust fabrication $250
magnaflow cat and muffler $140 << got the hook up so let me know if you ended up needing magnaflow products!

Custome drive shaft (combining the m3 front shaft half shaft with the ti rear) $190

Active auto short shifter kit $80

and a little more things that im sure im forgetting. alot of the parts i didnt really need but i didnt want to touch it twice, you know? otherwise you can knock the swap out for about $2500-3000ish

How did you get the engine and accessories for only $1750 ???

all the ones i saw on ebay were $3000+

PRETTY MUCH GOT LUCKY ON THE ENIGNE AND TRANS. BUDDY OF MINE HAD JUST BOUGHT A WRECKED M3 FOR 3000 AND SOLD ME THE ENGINE, TRANS, DRIVESHAFT, AND CLUSTER FOR 1750. ALL ELSE I HAD TO DO SOME SHOPPING AROUND. I DIDNT SEE WHERE YOU WERE LOCATED BUT THERE ARE VARIOUS JUNK YARDS IN GEORGIA THAT SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY BMW OR OTHER EUROPEAN PARTS AND I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS CHEAPLY (DIFF AND PUSHER FAN) EVERYONE ELSE WANTED TO SELL ME THAT SAME DIFF FOR 375+

HONESTLY... I DIDNT EVEN CHECK EBAY FOR THE CHEAPEST INQUIRY LOL

Congrats on the swap and the TI looks good. I'm actually from Georgia and I'm usually in the Atlanta area every other weekend. You should let me take it for a spin.
