    The Tein Flex on my Integra was nearly $1,500...you can get comparable coil-overs for the same or less for E36's+ OR you can get COMPLETE race suspension setups for $1,500-2k NEW for BMW's including sway bars from Turner Motorsports.

    Fenders, bumpers, cf hoods, all basically the same price.

    Turbo's and turbo kits, the same price.

    Wheels: A Rota for a Honda is just about the same price as a Rota for a BMW. A Volk or Work for a Honda isn't much differant than a BBS for a BMW.

    You want a big brake kit on a Honda, guess what...it's the same price as it is for BMW's.

    Motor mounts for swaps, same price.

    The M52 that has 190+hp & 207 ft-lbs torque...freshly rebuilt long block for $1,800. You can barely even get a rebuilt GS-R that makes 170/130 for $2k!!!

    Clutches and flywheels, all just about the same price.

    The list goes on and on. Maintenance wise to aftermarket parts, they're all very similiar between BMW and Honda/Acuras.

    He's looking at an E46, not a E36.....Quality parts are way more expensive for an E46 than for a E36.

    Then compare those E46 parts to an S2k. They're gonne be just about the same damn price...from engine sensors to transmissions to brakes to hardtops to LSD's to wheels to seats, oem or aftermarket.
