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

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.Blitz wrote:How does it fit in there?
http://www.behindmatrix.com/e30/fotost/ ... f00017.htm might be worth a look at
And as for the noise

Small car + big engine + subtle looks = big fun!

WOW that engine!
Formal education will make you a living. Self education will make you a fortune.
Find a job you like and you will never have to work a day in your life!

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?
