LOL..... they're interested to see it come to life. I still get shit on and teased but they are impressed with all the work that has gone in to this. I think they'll be surprised when it's finished.

Good progress man! Interesting info about the (bad) matching of the stock manifold to the head. Sounds like many of us may have a new project to work on haha!

Any good info about the S42 engine in that BMW Car mag article?

M44 crank is near free in the US, N47 is like gold!

I have lots and lots of pics that I've taken.  Haven't updated this thread in a while because this forum doesn't work on my tapatalk app for some reason lately.  All the pics are on my phone which makes it easy to add them to the site via tapatalk :-(

The new head is installed with new cams and newly powdercoated valve cover.  Lots and lots of other stuff done as well like removing all A/C components.  I test fitted the ITB's the other night.....looks really good :-)

I'll try and email the pics from my phone, so I can load them this weekend.

Does anyone have a link to an Alpha N control box install?  The instructions from Dbilas really aren't great and I convinced one of the techs at work to wire it for me :-)
