414BHP seems like a bit too much for a convertible.

The engine out of the New M3 would cost way more than most of our E30's. Why on earth would you sepnd that much.

Well it didnt take long for an M5 V10 to end up in an E30 so i see no reason why one of these wont be slotted in by someone somewhere.

Heck is there an M3 engine since the E30 that hasnt ended up in an E30? :mad:
