These vents are wider. The 1m air curtains and ducting would look small on a car this wide

S65 itself is only 15lbs heavier than the n54 and sits further back. The transmission and associated parts are however heavier. My first car weighs 3250lbs vs my e92 at around 3650ish. It is better to go all M3 axels. You will need all of it. The ability to run m3 brake set ups, m3 steering and full m3 suspension and LSD is a huge upgrade that changes the car as much as the motor swap. |

When you get the time, would love to see pics of the rear quarter panels. Curious what part of the rear they replace and how they are mounted.

They are a rear arch that is connected to the side skirt so they bolt up on the side skirt and can be moulded on the fender arch |

Subscribed, definitely looking forward to the final work. I still look at your 1M build just for admiration. Been wanting to do it myself. Best of luck to you!

Forgetting weight of other drivetrain components. Regardless, FMIC hangs out in front of the wheels anyways, making that 13lbs not quite the same even if that's all it was.

I still haven't gotten a chassis yet. I am
currently just stacking the s65 / suspension swap parts and working on my e92 m3 project. My motorswap is on the schedule at Ptech for October so I will get a chassis before then. |

What's the projected cost of one of the Ptech S65 Clones? Just curious if they had worked out a price model yet.

Expect at a minimum to pay ~$15k for 135i/128i, ~$12-16k for an m3, 12-15k labor + $1500 for coding/ tuning / gauge cluster work for the mechanical portion. 1M body work if same color will run around ~$13k for a full job. Options like CF roof, BBK, fresh rod bearings, CSF cooling package ( radiator, steering, oil cooler, Trans cooler) coilovers, dinan parts etc are all extra but you save a lot in labor doing it all at once. |

Will they sell the cars as a finished product, or do they require piecemeal deposits for each stage? Feel free to PM me if you'd rather btw, don't want to derail your thread.
