A97syclone's 2011 128i AWD 1M conversion LS Swap thread

I guess it's time to start a build thread on this project.
I wanted to put an LS into an AWD vehicle for a while now and figured I'd convert one that was never AWD while I was at it, so I picked up a 2011 128i with engine issues. I'm sure this will be a long thread because I am trying to do a majority of the work myself. I'll be uploading pics as I go.

The plan is:
Turbo (twin or single) L92 6.2 engine with all of the LS3 parts on it
4L80E 4wd version
NP149 transfer case from an older Escalade
Trailblazer SS front differential
Xdrive front subframe and suspension
eventually 1M conversion body parts, suspension goodies and wheels

My goal is to keep the A/C and be able to daily drive it as well as take it to the track.
