It looks like it's got potential to me. One question I have that's unanswered is what transmission would you use? Maybe the install instructions will tell me. Before I dropped that kind of cash, I think I'd travel up there to see his install. This will most likely screw up the handling of your car, but it'll definatley be a torque monster. | | | 01-11-2006, 03:12 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Ohio Posts: 42 | dude, i just found out that this guy that made this car lives in my city like 10 min far from my house.

So he can show off and we can speak to him and perhaps buy his kit. This is a sacrilege of the ti I can live with. | | | 01-11-2006, 05:27 PM | #6 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | this has been linked to before and somewhat discussed. the corvette engine is close in weight to the bmw I6 and he used a GM trans if memory serves. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 01-11-2006, 09:20 PM | #7 | Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Jamaica Posts: 62 | Quote: Originally Posted by cali-ti this has been linked to before and somewhat discussed. the corvette engine is close in weight to the bmw I6 and he used a GM trans if memory serves. | Don't see the thread.

He should have a ton of info about it. There was a thread in bf.c about the V-8 swap too. There are quite a few advantages to doing it if you can handle the fact that a BMW is powered by a chevy motor. | | | 01-12-2006, 03:29 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Indiana Posts: 256 | Put the new LS7 in there and that would be be a 9 second car. | | | 01-12-2006, 03:45 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 | Quote: Originally Posted by TiPerformance Put the new LS7 in there and that would be be a 9 second car. | That would be amazing. Even a NA modded LS1 could be pushed into outrageously low 1/4 mile times for the price of a full M3 swap. It would be fearsome, and beyond the scope of all but the most highly modded M3 turbo set up. | | | 01-12-2006, 05:20 AM | #13 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Quote: Originally Posted by AlaskaBlue There are quite a few advantages to doing it if you can handle the fact that a BMW is powered by a chevy motor. | To solve this problem you get a custom made carbon fiber engine cover that says bmw. When people ask you about it say it's a prototype and that you work for bmw engineering or something.. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 01-12-2006, 06:38 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | Nash was/is a member of this forum.
