LS Swap AWD

No. But I've been having this hair-brained conversation with the son that is LS swapping the E92 M3 and telling him that a perfect swap would be an X6 M with a blown motor, ala CoPart. It's basically an E series swap, everything is out there for it. I'm wondering if it can be 8HP swapped with AWD.
Hell I don't know
If they put the diff in the oil pan, where the hell is the engine oil?!

you know that I meantI have a 2010 X1 I picked up cheap. It’s in great shape but needs a timing chain(n47, and possible valve damage).
I’m thinking about LS swapping and retaining the AWD. It’s a HP6 Auto, and I read they are fairly stout. I see adapters for LS to HP8, but not specifically LS to HP6. They eould be the same adapter wouldn’t they?
I also see several options to integrate control of the auto.
I haven’t studied the oil pan/front diff yet though, as I understand there may be complications.
Regardless of whether it’s practical/reasonable/economical or not…..has it been done???
Anyone???
Bueller??

If I was doing it with an auto I'd want an HP8. I've seen adapters for cars to go from HP6 to HP8 so I sincerely doubt it's the same adapter.
Not economical at all so better to do it all right.
Other thought is I would also personally want the LS3 aluminum block for weight savings.

Nice ride, fellow e84 owner here
Swap an n55 in, e84's came with optional n55 and 6hp 2013-2015 model years in U.S. The money you save on custom parts for an LS swap you can put into engine mods
But then you couldn't say you have an LS powered X1...
True
Firstly, I had a very thorough study of the oil pan/front diff arrangement today.
What a dogs breakfast
I can weld a dick on a snowman, but not really sure I want to tackle that abortion.
Then yes, I am looking into plan B, an LS adapted to HP8 and conversion to RWD - for simplicity sake.
However, there is potential for plan C.
Tgere’s a 2000 X5 nearby. Also cheap as chips and runs - although poorly they say.
It may be a 4.4 V8.
It alsy MAY be 4wd.
I’ll have a look at the driveline snd see if any lightbulbs come on upsatairs.
After looking at that pan/diff, I’m pretty distrought sbout rven doing a cam chain in the old n47

Can you find a M57 X5? Now that would be something for your X1!
