took it for a test drive to a friends shop to put it on the lift and make sure everything was good and charge the ac system to figure out ac compressor was stuck immediately it started smoking so we had to wait for a new compressor.
also when doing ac with a swap on the 318ti you will need lines from donor car

Send me a pm I just seen your thread

Awsome work! To bad you live so far from me lol.

One complaint, why the racelands!!!?

Nice work man, obviously saw it all on IG. Can you explain more about that glove box/cubby? How is the Euro setup different? And did you order those boots new from BMW or have them shipped from Europe?
