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!
