Engine Lift

I decided that it was necessary to fabricate an engine bracket for lifting the engine in and out of the car. I didnt want to half ass this part since i could damage my engine by using chains that werent sized for the engine. I think i did a pretty decent job for an S54 (e46 M3) engine lift. there are two problems i can see with this lift. first is the fact that it uses the transmission mounting bolts which means you need clearance in the trans tunnel to take the bracket off. Also you need some clearance around the cowl of the car since i decided to use some stiffening braces on the back mount plate. i will probably cut these down later to clear my cowl
