Any idea ilikebmxbikes ?


In addition, stuff you bought from Revozport is just incredible ... They provide such good material and their carbon fiber seems to be awsome !

You said you will use a 128i base, but will you put some turbos or whatever ? Will you do a S65 swap again but this time with blowers ?
You need to do the subframes. With an m3 subframe the front will bolt up vs having to make a custom set of motor mounts and modifying a non m subframe. The rear subframe also grants you the use of an oem m3 LSD and suspension. You only need to modify the driveshaft by shortening it.
