Looking to trade my BMW for a LS1 car..

Mods to the car are basicly none besides wheels.

Sorry, its a 99. Got new tires put on the back. Stretched a 225/40 on the rear

Updated pics with suspension on it now. Some of you guys may see this car at the Home Depot meet on 45/Eldorado..

That would be sweet! Is there alot of work involved in a swap like that or will it bolt right in with minor modifications?

Im sure it would require a few modifications. The engine bay is actually pretty big.

But no thanks on swapping a LSx in it. Cant replace the F-Body feel

With as weak as the E46 Subframes are I can't even imagine what the torque from an LS1 or LSX swap would do to them. I have an 04 330I (E46 platform) as well and they have a problem with the rear subframe tearing away from the body and BMW had to do a recall and fix them due to a classaction lawsuit they lost. GTL with the sale as she's a beaut'!!!

Yeah, mine got checked a while back from the previous owner to make sure the subframe was good. They took it to the one off 45 in League City/Dickinson area.

Im just looking for a F-Body. Going out to these meets on fridays (home depot) makes me want a cammed beast.
