So, heres the start of another project. 91' 515i, LS1 conversion. I will post the pics of the progress so far. We have the LS1 droped in and are doing a mock for it to find the best place to mount the motor. Let me know what you guys think! will post pics and additional info later.

thanks

Feed the monster! Show us pix.

I'm throwing my 5.3 LH6 into my 1987 E28 this weekend and will have pix next week. Should be some similarities with your E34.

Very interested in this. I have a 90 E34 with a perfect body, decent interior, and a blown tranny. Looking into this myself.

Great idea, not to heavy luxury sport, with a 6 spd and 350HP sounds cool to me, I might have to find me one,

the 525i motor has been pulled out for a while now, we are working on clearences for the motor and motor mount fab. We are going with the 540i brake booster system as they are mounted in the front left of the car instead of back along the fire wall, which at first caused some clearence issues. We are also going to fab the crossmember a little bit to help the oil pan clear as well, the first issue you find when you drop that LS1 is the oil pan is in the rear and our 5 series motors come with oil pan in the front, so it will want to lay on the crossmember. If you guys have any other questions feel free to ask and ill try and answer them, also having some issues uploading pics to this fourm, new to it anyone have any quick advice. Thanks!

Oh one add to the oil pan issue, we went with the 04 GTO oil pan which is mounted on the front and helps alot to solve the clearence problem.
