LOL thats it? No mods to the engine/intake whatsoever?

why do mods to your engine when your suspension isn't ready for it

handling > power

DME flash upgrade is the best bang for your dollar after you upgrade all of the safety and handling parts

Heck I drive an auto, and with the suspension done up the car is plenty fun and actually not that much of a slouch.

First thing to do is get everything up to par. Start with the cooling system, if you don't have any record of hoses and fittings being replaced, get that done first. Then all the bushings, and I mean ALL of the bushings.

Though, the" leave the motor alone" from a kid with an M3 S52 swap is kinda funny!

LOL suspension, good coilovers or spring and strut combo. Bushings, brakes and wheels.

BEFORE YOU ASK "WHAT COILOVERS?" USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!

Hahaha. I made sure most of suspension was done up before the swap haha. If you have funds for it, the swap is well worth it haha
