Thank you. The S65 only weighs 15 more lbs than an n54 and sits further back. The s65 transmission is heavier but due to it being low and more toward the center of the car, it doesn't compromise anything. The car with the v8 entirely preserves the factory balance and dynamics. What really sets it apart from the e92 is it is over 400lbs lighter, while still keeping all street amenities, and has a shorter wheel base.

Great job! Can't say enough how cool that car is.
Are the 1M fenders and rear 1/4 BMW original? The rears seem even wider then a stock 1M. I love fender flares They don't make cars like that anymore aside from the F80.
You have a keen eye. These steel arches are slightly wider than a factory 1m.
