BMW S65 Swap??
 
Anyone ever explore swapping one of these? Obviously not the torque of the LS motors, but seems to fit more in line with the car's character. Size and weight should be fairly similar to LSx?

no one I guess?

Would be bad-ass, but $$,$$$ and a ton of design/development work for similar power to a mild LS swap. And then you have a setup that has not been tested over hundreds of thousands of miles like the standard LS swap stuff has.

I haven't seen or heard of such a swap, but someone with a lot of time and money should do it :)

Do you just happen to have one laying around? Think the LS motor makes more HP and a ton more torque for a lot less $s.

If you're going BMW, drop in a S55

Either way, they all weigh at least 200 more lbs than a 13brew
