cruise is a rosta universal setup from summit racing... It uses a sensor on the drive shaft.

Andy the Downing Atlanta will fit.....with some slight mods to either the brake booster or to the piping up to the throttle body. There is a guy (on this board) using a set of my mounts that has a downing atlanta SC setup mounted and running....maybe he will chime in.

The e36 auto drive shaft fits and bolts to both the trans and diff without any modification. This is with the use of my mounts....same for an auto or 5 speed. You have you slide the shaft at the center slip joint to make it maybe an inch longer but there is still plenty of contact in the splines.

You then also have to relocate where the center bearing mounts up....

This is what I did on another car of andys...golf with a 5 speed.

Andy can explain how smooth the setup is in his golf car.....

jake, first of all...yours is one of the best m42 swaps i have seen! love the detail in the console especially! one question...is the angle iron relocation of the center bearing sturdy enough? no wobble...right? did you add more fastening at the rear of the angle iron to the tunnel? or..is it just what we see in the photo? i have toyed with this idea for my m2 to use the m3 drive shaft (which i much would prefer), but wasn't sure if it would be strong enough. one laast thing...i know you guys dont get to hot up there in summer.... (like we do here in south fla.) ...any problems with overheating? with the a/c on, that is.?? anyhow....

again! great job, man! and a big plus with that m42.....they're bulletproof!!

keep sending more photos!!! thanks again...

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
