      Im not being a hater here, I really enjoyed watching CT and I loved every second of it, but as Angus here said, key word is "was"... Especially when you invest your time in watching it for a while (like majority of us did) and see in front of your nose when thing starts to fall out... But as they say, one door closes, few new ones open, and im glad it happened like that.

    If you want to do a fast engine swap on a bmw... just unbolt the whole front suspension as a one piece (struts, brake line, 4 bolts for the front support bar, fuel lines, throttle cable and radiator pipes) with the engine and gearbox (all supported by jackstands) and then raise up the car... you had to disconnect the brakes anyway because you were changing calipers... :) this is much easier and cleaner approach - no need to even take out the radiator and no fiddling with the crane, then swap the engines on the floor (again no need to disconnect the gearbox from the engine) and lower the car again, bolt on the front support and struts... :)
