That is a great write up of your work so far. This shows the effort and expense involved to get that "bargain" low mileage early M3W into good useable condition if it hasn't been upgraded by the original owner. It can be a bargain if you factor in the costs. You will have a better than new car at the end with the Phils transmission and G56 mods.
Look forward to hearing how it all goes and your driving impressions. Your smooth take-off will be helped by dumping the standard exhaust as well as the transmission mods. The G56 kit and AR systems improve the engine running greatly.
