Nick,

If I had a V8 e53, I would defiantly be interested. I choose my e53 based upon the manual option, and the general reliability and cost of ownership of the m54 engine. Had your conversion been available, I would have been all over it.

You *might* be underestimating the demand for such a kit. You are in uncharted waters, and I applaud your creations. This board represents a very small percentage of a much larger population, and differing opinions for sure. The only real way to know is to produce a kit and sell it. Or sell it to someone willing to produce it. Whatever you decide to do, thanks for sharing your creation. Its nice to see a real modification now and again, and not some "Look where I stuck some LEDs type of mod". I eagerly look forward to your future builds. Post more vids when you can.
