Well, not really back back but I am going to start working on it again once the E46 is back together in the next week or so. The wheels and seats were donated to the M50 Club Sport project so I will need to address those items eventually. To start I am going to pull the complete drivetrain including the rear trailing arms. I have M Coupe arms, a 3:46 LSD, and the transmission from an M Coupe to install. Then I will take on the engine, I am hoping I can get by with a stock rebuild for now but I will not know until I get inside.

If you were closer I would love some help. I have been building this car in my head for years, while the engine will not be exactly what I want it should be a pretty fun car none the less! __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org!

I would like to do something different eventually, maybe a high compression S50 or an S54. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

I will be painting these... any color suggestions? Keep in mind the color of the car. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

Every monkey in the jungle has black wheels these days. It depends on what sort of look you're going for too. I.e., do you want to keep it looking like "an adult-driven and sophisticated BMW" or like "a flashy 'hey look at me' teen-agers car." ;-) Seriously though... I like the standard sliver/gray with a blue car. A darker shade of silver/gray would probably look good and be a little different from stock. I'm sorry that I don't have any really interesting suggestions, I mostly just wanted to use the phrase "every monkey in the jungle" because I just thought of that phrase.

Good memory. I plan on using those for track tires I have 2 sets of them for the E46 in 19and I'm a a bit superleggera'd out. For the Contours I was thinking: Stock Silver Dark Graphite White - Since my wife thinks Contours look like soccer balls this would complete that look. __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org!
