I've been watching out for this for awhile now! I'm buying a 96 328iS and it will be a PERFECT ls1 swap candidate!!!

It's not mine. I just happened to run across it while surfing.

"H]ard BMW:
There is something inherently cool about overclocking your BMW 318i by stuffing a big *** Chevy LS1 engine into the Beemer. But what makes the project AWESOME is the mechanic…we don’t know his name, but he needs a new [H]ardOCP t-shirt. Thanks Joseph Tan for the linkage."

Sweet, good to see some more Bavarian Bastardizers out there. I chose an e30 318i for my project, and it too received the M3 brakes and differential.

Here are some pics. Sorry they are of such poor quality.

Ooopppss, forgot the link
