i think we've managed to get the engine about 40mm further back in dip's conversion, looking at the 'BMW' logo on the offside inlet manifold, in relation to the bolt holes on the turret?

Youre probably right - Ive only seen the mag briefly and dont have a copy with me, but I thought it looked similar from what I remember seeing.

The one in Jims pic is an Alpina unit isn't it?

I like the idea of a tourer better though 8)
