They used to sell mounts but are apparently out of business now. I talked to them about their e46 a while back.

I disagree, I like pleasure to be only a foot stomp away from business. Drop off the lady and the kids, and go buck wild.

All I can think about is an 4 door E46 w LS2 and T56.

I'd bet nothing ever happened with this. Original poster has 1 post, and hasn't been on here since June '08.


I personally would like a 4 door E46 swap, just like I'd love a 2 door / M3 as well. But at my point in life, the 4door car would be more practical. And a Convert would be the most fun, but I'd expect all that power would be busy twisting the car into a pretzel.

Lovely! E46 BMWS are my favorite. 330i Zhp and having an LS is probably one of the best choices for a motor swap. I hope it worked out. I hopefully will follow suit.

Just joined the forum to learn everything I can about the LS1 and what can be done to it. I grew up around Ford Cleveland 351's but never the chevy small blocks. Looking forward to being the first to drop in an LS1 into a sleeper 330i BMW. Don't hate...the e46 chasis is probably one of the best car chasis ever made, but with a motor to lack. Actually bought an M3 motor to swap in, but it was crap when I received it. Got back to thinking and realized what I've always known....there's no replacement for displacement!

The LS1 weight wise is actually supposed to be slightly lighter than the iron block IL6 M3 motor, with a lower CG. Once dropped in, I should have a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Coupled with an entire suspension swap, subframe stregthening, bulletproof t56, I should have a real TRACK winner. Not after the drag so much as I am the track. Anyways, I'll be coming back to this forum to get advice as to how to tweak the most amount of power from the LS1 before goin' FI.

Looking forward to this one![/QUOTE]

Obviously he found and brought back to life the best E46 swap thread that can be found on this forum. Nobody else has done an E46 swap since this thread.
