"look like a drug dealer in a BMW for only Ԛ£499"

[Karan]

D2 LFT with a sneaky dot on the 'L' to mae it an 'I"

[Karan]

ok a plan has been hatched......... as soon as the project car, e30 m5, is done.....im gonna sell the sport and run around in the poject car, ill buy a tourer and a 4.4 v8 lump and drop it in the tourer....... what are thoughts on that..... near 300hp of 4.4 v8 rightness...... and its pretty light too... and i reckon it can be done on the money from the sport....

[320Touring]

youre maDDDD!!!!

sounds like a plan tho

go for it

[M3RAGS]

hmmm

[E30BeemerLad]

Karan - you've got to do that V8 project!!!!

If only to tell the rest of us how much hassle it is!

Nice idea that, a real street sleeper touring

[Karan]

ive already found somewhere that sell the mounts in the states... only BIG proble seems the brake servo clearance issue.... most ppl who do it move the maser cylinder and vacuum servo to the front of the bay near the nearside headlights.... using an extended linkage from the bulkhead it seems..... doesnt seem too hard..... another thought froma US site..... m20=258lbs, m60=300lbs so barely any weight gain and it would be positioned rear wards slightly too

[E30BeemerLad]

you know it makes sense!

[Borderbmw]

Sounds damn good to me!

[Danstable]

Stick a big diesel in there instead, save yourself having to fill the load area with a second petrol tank!

however he may have a point if you can get a 530d lump.....

[Borderbmw]

Or a 535d twin turbo lump now were cooking on gas!!!!

[320Touring]

he said he wanted to do it on the money from the sale of the sport... 535d lumps are like hen's teeth good idea tho (even if it is only 3.0 with 2 turbos )

[Borderbmw]

true,hmmmm supercharge the 4.4v8 + nitrous!?

[Karan]

im looking for something here to replace the sport which is very accomplished in all areas..... just want the extra power and high speed driftability that comes from 300hp and good weight distribution.... v8 soundtrack kicks ass.... i would not even consider selling my sport for less than 5k so if it doesnt sell i keep it..... still long way to go yet....towards end of summer when the other car is done is when i will decide what to do..... basically want a quick car for road use and track.drift use...... not worried bout consumption as im sure this wont be too bad in a light car.... as for diesel......its not exactly sporty is it..... good for daily use though..

[Simon13]

try and find a late K - L plate 316i auto touring these cars are the newest E30's left! the last ones are only 11 years old!

[zaust]

why dont you just look out for a cheap tourer and have another project???

[M5pilot]

Best idea youve had in a long while.

318i Badged 2.7 Touring is gonna be so cool!

Youll lose the chav sport image in the process aswell.

[Karan]

if i can find a cheapish 4.4 v8 lump with no nikasil probs then sport has gotta go....... nothing like a project to get the juices flowing

[Andy335Touring]

Erm.....can you borrow your dads V8 whilst hes not looking

[Davenotouring]

If it's a similar engine to the late Range Rover lump, they sound awesome with phat pipes.

This could be awesome.

Karan could 'own' two of the countries quickest E30's. Which isn't fair.

[Karan]

the red thing is a joint venture between me and my dad....... the v8 thingie will be mine........christmas project i suspect...... cant wait.....

[Davenotouring]

Excellent mate!

I put the own, in inverted commas implying the part-ownership!

[Karan]

i hasten to add.....power is nothing without control......

[Davenotouring]

In this context that statement could be interpreted in many different ways!!

[E30BeemerLad]

Dave & Karan, Karan in particular if you've got some big power, do you fancy a trip to York dragway in July, there's gonna be a bit of a beemer thing going on and there's a load of E36 boys turning up who reckon they can take us. Fancy giving the old girl a bit of stick?? I know a bit of a treck for you both but it should be really good

[Davenotouring]

If my car is done, I'd be up for it. Providing the weather is good!

[Karan]

yep....the sports always up for a good caning..... are doughnuts half way up the strip frowned upon

[Demlotcrew]

i hasten to add.....power is nothing without control......
