As you may have gathered, this was my check list for getting my BMW back up and running. Got the engine and transmission mounted on Monday 5/5 and on Friday 5/16 had first start and test drive. Only one little oil leak that was quickly fixed!
All buttoned up and ready for the road! Well, except for hood shocks!
This was my first engine swap and it was fun to learn more about my e28. She is running great. First road trip was to the Vintage at Old Salem and we had a good time with both e28s. Will post later about the Vintage.
Ready for At the Vintage
