Yes, I know that this engine is running on "wrong" fuel, but from the other side it's have 143 BHP/260 Nm in standard form. After some easy tweaking 185 - 190 BHP and over 350 Nm is under right pedal. The engine is based on M50 engine so fitting it to E30 shoud be quite easy. And the fuel consumption shoud be much over 40 mpg.
Or maybe someone done it already? What you think about this unusual swap?
