Hi Steve,

It's a great conversion that was one of the first things I did when I purchased 2270011, very strong improvement and well-worth the cost!

It IS a relatively straightforward procedure, however you need to get your parts from a CS coupe, the bavaria subframe and trailing arms are different. Unless your Bav rear has vented discs, you'd probably prefer not to use the Bav discs and calipers either, since you're going to all the trouble to make the conversion. I am not sure but you "might" be able to use the e-brake cables from your bav, but here I could be wrong.

On the upside the coupe parts are around,
I have three that I am picking parts off of now, so feel free to e-mail me if there's something you might need!
