It's not only sacrilegious, it's pretty dumb on top of it.

Lol, what in the world. As a BMW owner, I would never disgrace the roundel by putting it on a Chevrolet.

LS Swap the world! I imagine that's what it was made for. A LS powered BMW.

I personally wouldn't do it but there's a lot of things people do that I would never do.

I have an Ls swapped C4. I would never put a C5 emblem on it. But i can see how that might appeal to some.

I've seen them rebadged as 357I's but I can't think of a tasteful use of the badge OP posted.

With that said, a LS powered E36 would be a whole lot of fun.

No argument, but dropping an LS into a Porsche happens with some frequency. A guy I ride bikes with is making that swap and the mechanic who's making the change does this as a side business. Sorry, I forget which model this change is made to.

It's funny cause corvette engines end up in almost everything, but the only thing in Vettes is another vette engine
Well or an iron block, but it's all the same
