you be the pioneer. i just want pics.
judging from their setup, the engine will have to lean. this might not be good for the 7M's already inherent oiling problems. Depending upon how far it's gotta lean, a custom sump will need to be made, the oil pickup will need to be modified, and you will have to make sure that the head gets proper oiling and draining of oil.
Do it, take many pictures.

I've seen pictures of JZ series engines in both older and newer style M3's.

Considering the engines are approximately the same size and mount the same I would try and track down the owners or write-ups and see what was required to make them work and then tweak it for your chassis and the 7m.

Sounds like it would be sweet tho.

Lol My friend used to want my 7mgte to put in his e30, but then he decided to get an m50 to replace his dog m20.
