Indeed, you'll see an E93 in my car history in my signature, been considering recently getting another one for a weekend toy now that the prices seem to have bottomed out and are on the rise.

A peach of an engine, the DCT gearbox is fabulous too

Very cool! Nice work. Just wondering, are you going to use the stock ECU or are you going to use a standalone ECU?

Im gonna use a Emtron ecu for the engine and a HTG ecu for the gearbox. Also gonna use a single turbo hoping to end up somewhere between 800-1000hp

Yup I made some progress! Subframe is pretty much done and so are the engine and gearbox mounts.

Have the stock twins on to see but definitely no space without cutting and using the 8hp automatic. Maybe with 6 speed using the twins would be possible.
