Update:

Exhaust (downpipe???) up to and including the cat converters is installed. It is just being held by where it's attached to the headers. I just wanted to kill the sound a bit so I could drive it.
Drive shaft is on. I know the DS subject has come up a lot and this is what I ended up with. My original M3 sedan DS is the 6 bolt, so it's useless in this project.
I went ahead and purchased a 4 bolt M3 DS on the forum. However, it did not fit. Instead, I used the front half of M3 (4 bolt) and second (rear section) half is from 318ti. I'm using the S52 with the M3 tranny.
I drove around the parking lot. Still need to bleed the cooling system and top off the P/S reservoir.
Second gear is hitting something. Well, the tranny is fine; it’s the lever when in 2nd gear that’s hitting the DS. Shifter is also from the M3 so I was under the impression I didn’t have to modify the shift lever...

More to follow...
