Don't know if anyone elso saw this but on the e46fanatics site, they got a thread about this bimmer with a supra engine swap. Amazing what you can do with a shoehorn.

i think the is300 is better off with its own engine

That's nothing.

People have even stuffed a 540 engine and a LT-1 in E36s before.

Alpina, for one, managed to install an 850's V12 in a 318ti more than a few years ago. It's called the Hurricane.
