I cleaned up my garage and made plenty of space; i need to do something with those extra front and rear seats, too much clutter.

I put black car on jackstands and moved the exhaust underneath for storage. Now there is space to work.

Next step is to install the drive shaft to the motor, then connect motor, then electrical, then smog test + reg.

Current status: Black 325es (bmw01) swapped with a 325i motor and a Dinan chip, motor needs to be connected; white 325i (bmw02), damaged in accident- will need a complete checkup on the front end, will “borrow” exhaust for black car, will need to check transmission for locating linkage damage, remove all front fenders, bumpers and replace.
