Anybody seen an LT1 stuffed into a late eighties BMW 325, I have seen some old threads but none containing pics. I found my next project which is a 1987 BMW 325ES. The current plan is to drop a LT1 T56 into it at the same time making it a right hand drive. I will post some pics of one of these I did for my daughter a few years back although we kept the drive train stock it had some nice paint, nice wheels, super nice interior along with a custom stereo. One Best of show European the first year we completed it. It was a nice father\daughter project...
This project will have some wide body aspects to allow for enough tire in the back to keep the care from just goiong in circles.

Pictures would be nice along with issues that they may had had to resolve to make things work. Links

Never seen an LT1 E30, seen lots of LSX e30s and e36s though.

Ha that consumed most of my day, thanks for the link. I see most of the guys are transplanting LS1's. I watched a couple of the video's and I am stoked about this project. Noting like custom exhaust with 2 3" pipes exiting on the driverside almost like factory. The give away is once you start the car and it is freakinf rediculous when you see these things drive but with the F-Body sound. Looking forward to having something 1000 lbs lighter, shit I might not even need the NOS. The project will be a duplicate of the motor I am currently running.
