Yes it's an iX and yes it is still AWD.
The customer came to us looking for a swap for his iX. This was something VERY different for a us and proved to be quite a challenge. Retain AWD and add a bunch of power...easy right!?
On a positive note, the Getrag trans that is used with the M20 will bolt right up to any 24v engine, including the S54. The bad thing about this is it needed a custom oil pan. Eh...time to learn.
We also completed suspension and interior work while the car was with us. This thing was a true snow machine!
