BMW 328i, can't wait to get this engine in my kit

[Nickp]

Got the M50 manifold on now. Not a job I'll be in a hurry to do again!! Absolute tw@t to get off!!
What looks like a 1-2hr job, easily ran into a full 1/2 day to complete.
Anyway, it's on now c/w its 'remapped' ECU and it goes like stink!! I reckon it's faster in a straight line than the 3.0 V6 MR2 I built, so easy to believe it's putting 230bhp out. If anything it's smoother to drive too, which is a bonus.
I'm still struggling to get my head around how mental this is going to be in a '7'!!
