[FunfGang]

Holy cow this is going to be awesome.

[blowntwofive]

interesting to actually see a v8 bmw in another bmw. ha.

Too bad the s62 couldn't be fixed, but it does look *slightly* tweaked in the front, so it's a good idea you're going with the swap.

pics dont do it justice the frame rails are 2inches to one side and the rear of the car is munched too

[hi its me alec]

sick, i love how far back bmw oil pans are. e39 m5 swap = zero oil pan issues. lol

[blowntwofive]

I know that Alpina made their own oilpans and pumps for the B8, if you could find one of those it would make your life much easier. Finding one will be an issue though. Other than the oil pan, most of the swap info should be the same as an e30 swap, so I'd say read up on those a bit.

Here's a link about the Alpina cars

And here's the pan they used, you can see how much further forward the subframe is in an e36
