I'm Dean and have recently acquired an M88/3 to put in my e30. These are very hard to find here in the states but I wanted one of these bucket of bolts for the all the typical reasons. This one was rebuilt 50k ago and comes from my best friends M635CSI. My e30 runs perfect as is so I won't be engaging in the swap until the majority of needed parts have been obtained.

Here's a pic from a break during the bodywork phase. The engine is the last phase to complete. Interior, suspension and bodywork are all complete. Sadly, no progress to speak of yet. I can't get started with the swap until the M6 is parted out and gone out of my garage...It's taking up quite a bit of space and I need time to sort out my shopping list anyways.

Thanks! Yes, its an e46 console. I did a picture thread for that on e30tech. The wheels are Borbet Type S 16x9.

I havent taken many pics of the car, mostly waiting for it to be completed before "introducing" the finished product. :mad:
