Hey Everyone –
I'm working on the first video episode, and hope to have that out by Sunday.

In the meantime, here's the advance update on progress!

I spent the last week getting the wagon interior fully stripped out.
I had no idea what a pain in the ass getting all of the interior out was going to be, and keeping track of all the wiring.

Here's a pic of a very lightened F31 for y'all!

Keep up the good work man. Tackling this is not a small job. Ive had 2 major E91 projects and based on the electronics in the F8x F3x, I know for a fact you have a lot of work ahead of you.

I'm sure you're right.
My project "coach" Ryan at Dynasport made sure that when i was on the hunt for my F31, that i was looking for an LCI version – so all of the standard wiring and computer systems would be of the same generation. That should help significantly.


Where i'm fully expecting to run in to snags / jobs:
• Transitioning the M3 body harness to a power tailgate
• Patching in the KAFAS (lane / collision) system from the F31 into the F80 harness
• Patching in the power moonroof into the F80 harness
• Other shit that i didn't expect

Is that Tanzanite blue or the 30 Jahre color? I can't tell, but regardless looks bad ass.

OMG so many wires!

Terrifying to look at! I get nervous just hooking up the battery tender to my M4GTS

Kudos to you, I still remember drooling over M Coupe way back when.

Still scratching my head about BMW not bringing the new M touring to US, I means Audi is selling RS6 Avant for well north ok 100k, what gives?

Keep us posted

This project is destined for a record book of some kind. Looking forward to the updates!

The picture with engine completely removed is both sobering and exciting. Wow.

Awesome. I can only dream of such a project! Kudos to you and your friends.

Paint it in HS!!!! (Watch Joe Achilles video of the m340i touring in HS). Goes beautifully with the wagon!
