Awesome!
I wouldn't really choose a V12 for a track car mind. Not my car though...
The wheels seem to look a little far back in the arch on the front

v12 is a light engine with 330 bhp on tap
the wheel seems like its a 5 stud setup but have not used the off set bush to bring the wheel forward

Im not a huge fan to put in a big engine to a rellative small car like an E30, but Jesus what a soundtrack you can make with the right exhaust and manifold...

www.e30.de is another awesome E30 site which has guides how to fit 3.5l BMW engines (which now seem to be quite common) into the E30 but people on there have put the 850CSI engines into E30's, in fact, almost any BMW engine you can think of has been shoe horned into an E30.

You obviously havent seen the burnout brothers and thier rover v8 powered fiat 126's then....
Small car + big engine + subtle looks = big fun!
I would kill to get my hands on that e30!

The idea to have an E30 with the same performance, same amount of cylinders and nearly the same bhp as a Testarossa makes me to love it even more.... For god sake, who needs Ferrari when you have E30 with a V12?
