RB25 in a BMW 325i???

Has any one seen this done? It seems like it would be a good fit but was curious if anyone has any pictures or knows any one who has done it. This is not intended to be a why or why not to do it thread or how hard or easy it is. Just trying to gather some info on the swap... Thanks in advance!

Its hybrid obviously so custom custom custom
Would this be in an E36?

There is a fellow on another forum who has this partially done on a E30.

Yeah it would be in an E36 (1994 325i). I posted on another forum and have been told that the motor mount locations are very similar but have not been able to verify.
