Warning to all 335, M3, and Riced out Honda Owners!

If you see a meager silver '92 325i sitting at light in IL with a slight growl, be careful who your rev at!

Yeah, there's very little external difference. The LS1 is the most common for swaps. If that's an LS2 or 3 they've used the cable operated throttle body from an LS1 on it.

Even if it's a bone stock LS1 it's got 350Hp, so it's going to haul ass. Very cool swap, and I'll bet he shocks some people with it.

Hey, I know that dude - I met him at the drag strips and he's manual and even with a 2.1 launch, he was passing me at the end of the strip. I think he traps high teens in the 1/4. I honestly think that putting a LSx into the M3s over the years would've given a better sports sedan... Lighter and faster and lower CG.

It's more likely that it's an LS1, but it's impossible to tell without getting a close look at it. The engines are nearly identical on the outside and it's common to swap LS1 throttle bodies onto the newer engines in applications like this.
