It'd been a pipe dream for awhile, then I decided I was at a point to leave it alone and buy something newer or amp it up. It's a 01' Dinan 7 Sport in Stratus Gray. Inside was all tan, so I found a black interior and swapped out the carpet, had the headliner and pillars covered in the knit, and replaced the dash and some other trim pieces so it looks factory. Having the top edge of the door panel dyed to match as well as the carpet inserts. Early in the year I retrofitted the nav with the NBT from a 2016 BMW, glass screen. Thats been a joy.

The donor car for the swap was just luck. A guy in CA was planning in the swap and lost momentum, so he'd assembled a lot of the parts. So I bought it from him and here we go. I had blackstone do an oil analysis to be sure the engine was good, and it was perfect. 2003 M5 with 84k miles was the donor and my car has 89k miles on it, so it was a great mileage match. Even got the M cluster and a UUC front sway bar in the deal. Hopefully itll be done before Christmas.

Excited.

@scotthduke on instagram for some pics along the way - swap starts in a week. Interior and other stuff I just finished mostly.
