I think everyone already knows, but if not I roll in a 1998 sport with 1999 3.2l engine which retains the OBD-II engine management and driveaway protection. Many other mods have been done to create my dream car. It's currently in the body shop having the last of the aero work done, as well as repair damage from being rear-ended by a brain donor in West Virginia..

Check the Compact6 section for a more complete build sheet...

Should be visible to all but only those who are in the usergroup can post.
It is to cut down on the general chatter that goes on.

Steve: I wanted to ask you if some of these other related posts should maybe be 'distilled' and added to the Compact6 area... As you thought, it does get a bit redundant at times, but the thread on the Z3 exhaust fitting the ti for example is excellent info that should possibly be moved.

I'm sure there are other things which have been posted, which contain information that only applies to swapped tis (but is certainly interesting information for other ti owners). This is the sort of thing that I believe the Compact6 section is 'designed' for.

How does this sound?

PS I obviously cannot move things around the forum here, but could weed through the relevant posts and PM links to you for things I think that should be moved in. Is this something you might want me to do?

Exclamation !!!CONSTRUCTION ZONE!!!

Just to let you all know: I will be moving the majority of this 'roll call' into the Compact6 section soon. I'm not sure what to do with the chit-chat posts within the thread yet... Probably just leave them, then you can delete your posts if you want, or we will re-name the thread so those with few posts don't loose the count. This is not a punishment, just trying to organize and neaten things up.

If you have a swapped ti and do not have the ability to post (please note stricter rules for posting) in Compact6 please let Steve know so you can post as well as view. (all members can view) Naughty posters will have irrevelant posts removed. I think the threads should perhaps be started outside of Compact6, and moved in later. I've noticed the threads tend to 'drift' off topic as they grow longer...

For anyone else wanting to post: don't worry! We all see the new posts so we will hear you!

Anyone can PM me as well...

About a month ago, after owning my Ti for about 6 months, I blew my M44. So last weekend after scraping up $3200 for a totalled '98 M3, I began my swap. Worked from noon till 5 on saturday, 11 till 4 on sunday, and 2 till 5 on tuesday. After such a small amount of work, my swap is almost completed. Tomorrow is saturday, and I have the whole weekend off work, so I'm hoping I can get all of the mechanical work finished, and just have wiring and the EWS alignment left by sunday night. So far the swap has been fairly easy, only problems I've run into so far is the exhaust not bolting up, which will be a fairly easy fix. I can't wait for the newly found horse power

And on that note, how do I get priveleges to post in the Compact 6 section?

i don't know if J!m can authorize you or not. steven's going to be away this weekend, but i'd PM both him (1996 328ti) and J!m and ask to be added, one of them will be able to do it eventually

I joined the group myself. all you have to do is go in to User CP, and on the left side under Miscellaneous section go to group memberships and join the group. As far as I know thats all you have to do, smarter people may know better, but i was able to post in the compact 6 lounge.

Default Here comes another

Just joined and thought I would add my ti to the list.

97 Cali roof with 3.2 swap, M3 brakes, wheels, trans and vaders as well as the bumper and mirrors. UUC shift kit and Bilstein shocks with H&R springs. Chip and under drive pulleys with M coupe exhaust and X brace. Cold air intake, camber plates and Euro lights. (Other stuff too, but hard to remember it all these days)

Still looking for a LS diff to add to the swap.

These conversions are a blast to drive!
