Engine swap tips?

I am getting close to parking my z3 for the winter. I have a 2.8l that I have been rebuilding on my spare time and my plan is to swap out my 2.5 this winter for it. For those who have done the swap, do you have any feedback, tips or information that could be helpful ahead of time?

I am also planning a clutch refresh while the engine is out. Anything else I am forgetting?

Whats this plastic filament for?

Recently picked up a poverty pony parts build. Ive never came across something like this, I thought it might be a left over jig or something but any input is appreciated

Where to begin?

I don’t like the way this deck was built. My plan is to add vertical bracing and h2 ties to address the fact its just toed onto the base. I also am adding new lag bolts to anchor it. But is it even worth saving?

Sounds quality needs fixing

Ive been going each year they have had it at the redmile and the sound quality has gotten progressively worse. Either too quiet, or the bass was way off. Its kinda embarrassing really.

Dinan DME tune?

I was scrolling facebook the other night and came across a YouTuber who added the Dinan module to their DME. It removes the rev and speed limiter, as well as having a more aggressive fuel map. I have no tuning experience, but could this be accomplished with RomRaider or another tuning platform? I’d love to hear feedback from anyone with experience tuning the m52tub28

What should I do with this space above the garage?

My house has a 2 car detached garage with a second story. Its only accessible via the back deck. I already purchased flooring to put down but so far have no real vision for this space.

Gapped rings for boost

Hi all. I am currently building an m52 bmw 2.8 engine for a project. I think I will eventually turbo this car so I am gapping the rings for boost. If I decided to stay NA, would I need to re-ring the pistons?

M52 2.8 rebuild updates

I started my summer project building a 2.8 liter to swap into my z3 this winter. I started with an 80k short block. I knew it had one bad piston, but after digging in, its going to get 6 pistons and rings. The bearings were not wiped out, so it looks like this one might go back together again

Surprisingly, the bores cleaned up well.
