Ok, my Swedish isnt what it used to be, but I think theyve used a T56 6-speed box from a Corvette by mating it to the E34 bell housing....
Im guessing this will be in PBMW sometime soon

And just a bit more useless info - the gearbox is a TREMEC T-56 as used in the Dodge Viper, Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford SVT Mustang Cobra, Aston Martin DB7 Vantage and V12 Vanquish, and Holden Commodore and Monaro.
And heres how to mount an M5 diff into an E30...

Purely because theres too much power for him to get down on the road!! So you want to pull out to overtake a car thats traveling a touch too slow, you pull out and next thing youre facing the other way!!
I like lots of power but there is going too far!

Has anyone turbod/engine swapped a 325ix yet? I know they were rare, but they'd be a superb scooby killer

E30 Touring 0.35 cD - more slippery than prison soap

Praise the Lard... and pass the dripping!

So i've heard the IX can only just cope with the standard power before the transfer box(?) calls it a day ?
