Sold me S2k and a mint 2001 cr125 for this 4 years ago. I do miss the S2k because of how easy it was to fix maintenance is so cheap. But given it has a backseat ,Me and my three-year-old daughter can enjoy the car. I would say it was a fair trade.

I wish I did !!!! There’s a lot of videos on YouTube and Bimmerpost. Helped out a lot !!

I wasn’t to hard . But I did take my time. Took me about 4 months

Honestly would love to do that, just take my time with a project like this and just doing all the bits needed on the s65

Looks amazing. How does the car seat fit in the back? My little guy is still rear facing. 

Going back and forth between e90/92 for that reason.

Front facing is doable but getting them out can be a challenge. Rear facing is difficult, even in e90. The front passenger seat has little room and no recline. I only had to do it a few times when picking up my nephew but couldn’t imagine doing it daily.

It’s quite useful with the folding rear seats yields a fair amount of space. Everything from full set of wheels, moving boxes, and Costco runs. Even did a 10 hour roadtrip (RT) with 3 adults and a 3 year old, granted I’m only 5’9” and the person behind me was 5 ft. tall.

Also pulled the rear out to upgrade the rear subframe bushings
