Good day all!!

Well, I figured it was time for an update... I am just about done with "6" and I will be getting "1" Monday afternoon if all goes as planned... My new patient is a non-sport 2001 (hence "1") 4.4L with transmission issues... I was going to use 2 as the first to get the 6MT transplant, but it is just doing so great right now... I'd hate to take a good operating X5 down when there are others out there that need rescue...

As it stands right now, I have two complete sets for the PF version X5's... I'm still trying to source a good supplier of N62 version 6MT's and accessories (Flywheel, pressure plate, yada yada)... The 545i manuals aren't just as plentiful as the 540i/6's are... Which should be a crime in my book!!

I have not recieved the shifter arm or associated hardware from ECS yet... So, I guess I don't quiet have two complete sets yet, technically... Drive shaft and trans cross member are going to be a project after the trans is installed...

I'm going to have transmissions and front differentials avail for cheap if anyone needs one or knows someone that does... I guess that also goes for T-cases and front driveshafts...

Okay!! So, I'm super excited to get this under way... Three more days... Just three more days if things go as planned...

Cheers for now!!
