That is epic. How did they mate the M3 6-speed to the V8?

thanks - we cut off the front part of the bell housing from the 740 auto box and did the same with the m3 box. The cut off bell housing from the 740 box was them welded onto the m3 box.

I agree with you, however its not from lack of talent.

The issue is we get screwed so badly that a custom build like this is SUPER expensive,

Throughout the world, particurly in the US, modding is so much more popular simply because it is largely affordable.

I believe the SA guys have got far more talent, and we are more then capable to do better, however as soon as a guy gets good and builds a reputation, he rips the egg right out of the chicken, and does not even use lube...

There are no way that our guys cannot stand up to the overseas modding scene! Good work! I would like to see someone come up with an 330d ci/ e30/ e36 cabrio as well.

too right... another thing that hurts us is that alot of the parts are imported and we dont earn $$$

True - and the biggest problem is that due to these conversions not being done very often, the expertise is often lacking and we often found ourselves getting fairly frustrated when problems arose with the modifications:argh::bangdesk:

Good thread revival, would still love to see and hear this car. Did you fit another diff yet? You were saying that you weren't happy with the length of the gears.
