Very pretty car! Looks like you parked your breakfast on the rear spoiler.
Some engine shots would be nice.

You can see it on the passenger side next to the coolant overflow tank. I was also able to do this on my 3.8L swap by using an E28 M5 tank and mounting it to the 535i air filter box mounts with some brackets. PM me for links. I am still working on the article for the web.

Oh.., I see it.. you used the e34 overflow tank. I don't think I can use that tank since I will retain the e28 water pump, thermo housing and all the lines. The first time I looked at your pics I thought you were using the e28 overflow tank and it wasn't visible.
Anyway.., nice job. Would love yo see your 3.8 and the e28 overflow tank location.

I am still working on the write-up. Once the write-up is complete then I will release the full monty, including potential video. Once it is broken in, rides will be a nominal feel

You only giving rides to women? What kind of feel would you need from most of us?
