Needs a classy radiator 

@irdave note the coils, the VW/Audi like we came up with.  I see they put a stamped metal hold down on each.

Overall a very nice neat engine installation.

I don't see a cam sensor, must be set up as wasted spark/semi-sequential injection,

 

Coils were all you buddy.  Car sure is looking great.  And not all of us need to have a NASCAR radiator, just sayin'.

Ooooff.... this woke me up better than coffee this morning.  Super big congratulations on having that bad boy home in the garage.  How do you not sleep in the garage at that point?

Wow!  The saddle interior looks great, same with the Pig Cheeks.

 

How about some shots under the hood?

Yes - need some underhood shots!

Laguna Seca Blue - my new favorite color.

Engine Management?  Interested in the details of your ignition setup.

We carried over the system from the M3 that the motor came from. Re-wiring it to work in the 2002 was a challenge.

??? The old Motronic with logic level ignition coil control?

Well, that's what I thought too.  But he did say the ECU that the engine came with, not necessarily the OE stock ECU...

My Bad. I checked with Jim and he used MS-3 Pro system. Apologies for the confusion. When we started this project we discussed using the original M3 Motronic unit. I think once they got into it it became unworkable and they switched. The owner is usually the last to find this stuff out. ?

Just everything,  so well done.    Congrats.

Thanks for the confirmation.  I'm headed down that same path for mine.

Quite a capable MS system for the car.  It appears to be a buy out item for MS. and similar to the Haltech 1500.

I see @Mark92131's engine is already set up with a crank position sensor and 36-1 wheel, rheostat TPS from the pic.

I'd like to see how it would look with the front bumper. But it is pretty darn nice as is!

Looks great Steve, now I really want to get the fenders on my car.

Yes, I'm going to need plenty of help figuring out how to hook it up when I am ready to stab it into my 1970 BMW 1600 when it comes back from paint.
