If it is looking for a home right now ... let me know

Fitment should be much better in the E39. Most critically, the E39 framerails are the same width apart as the E60. E39's are pretty light too... the I6's are within a few hundred pounds of a comparable E46. Both are over 500lbs lighter than the E65


Of course, go figure, all the H1 engines I had a lead on suddenly disappeared ~as if by magic~ from the marketplace as soon as I started looking into this more seriously. Such is life haha. I have a parts car E53 4.8is with 6HP that will likely end up in the E39 if I can't obtain an H1 within a few months
