    ~500rwhp at 13#. high boost is 17# now. Motor is a stock 5.0L with a stock t5 trans. He is upgrading to a tremec soon and is building another motor outside of the car for more boost. Paint was a home paint job, not the best but pretty good. Interior is getting replaced this weekend with new dash pieces and new seats. Car is a big time sleeper, very quite, no cam lope since it is a stock cam car. Should be a low 11 high 10 car as is at high 120 to very low 130 traps. Stock BMW rear end, 2.93 gear I think.

    I'm sure if would take a lot of fabrication and wiring work, because of all the electronics involved. The E39 540 V8 swap has been done though.

    That's nasty. In a good way of course.

    I'd rather see a M60/M62 in there to keep it in the family, but that is still pretty awesome.

    I wonder which rear he's using. By the ratio at least it appears to be a medium diff. I've seen people try to do swaps like this and make big power on the small diffs, all the knowledge in making the power but not enough sense to use the proper diff.

    That's a crazy swap but i like it!
    I have a BMW e30 Turbo with a stock m20 in it short of head gasket & studs makes 360rwh and 440 torque with a 2.93LSD diff. runs 11.6 in the quarter!

    I think you are going to be deep into the 10's if you hook up...
