Yes, two bolts directly into the subframe. Used copper pipe as a spacer to keep from bouncing.

Car is awesome! Great to see others doing some epic builds on the e82 platform!!

Question for you, did you delete the evap canister when you did the rear trey delete and moved battery? trying to figure what folks are doing when they want to get rid of it.

Appreciate it!

Thanks. It's still hanging in the back, but from what I've heard it can be removed and vented to atmosphere. I believe it will throw a code, but may be coded out through INPA.

I finally got around to plumbing the Accusump. I T'd into the engine oil return line just after the external thermostat. I've seen conflicting information as to whether a one-way check valve is necessary or not. The concept of preventing reverse flow through the oil coolers makes sense, but fluid will take the path of least resistance and I assume it would flow into the engine return instead of fighting the pump to flow backwards. Mostly I don't want to redo the return line and spend $150+ on a quality flapper check valve.
