Off a BMW board. I don't know the story. Going by the hood, it looks to be an E30 (BMW 3-series designation from two generations ago). Someone has suggested the 325ix (AWD 3-series).

 

If engines can talk it would say "Get me outta here!!"

 

poser!

 

I`ve seen one in an AE86

 

I think that's actually 3 generations ago, the 320i built from '76 until '83 or thereabouts. For it to be the the '84-'91 generation it would need vents along the cowl near the wiper posts. (I remember this because I used to own an '85.)

Pretty interesting idea, though. Without looking it up I'd guess that car weighed in the 2500-lb range, so it should be pretty quick. Or at least it would be if they geared it right. I wonder if there's an S2000 transmission and differential in there, too.

 

 

How many hybrids have people actually done with F20C motors?

 

i think it's a marvel of an engineering job. i personally would like to know how to do that on the hachi-roku, those babies are bad-ass for drifting.

 

that's crazy...now i have to worry about people stealing my car to swap out the engine

damn

 

Is this for real? Man ... F20c everywhere, it's impressive how they managed to get the setup working.
