A whole different kind of 24v swap...

The E36 W/ the V12 is here in Wilmington, NC. AKG built it. The former owner also had a euro S50 in an E30 and a 4.5V8 in an E30. I think the new owner of all three is selling them all.

yea. my favorite was the e30 w/ x5 4.4lv8, obd1'd, 6speed.....i think he was driving it around with the 316i badge still on the back. but that was a number of years ago. i didnt know they were for sale. cheers, jason

Oh dear. 99% of those things in service right now are terrible nightmares. I'd hate to be you when you need to replace parts on the thing, with what they cost you'd think the engine was built by eight year old pygmies using unobtanium.

Ehh... parts are expensive, but these things are starting to show up in junkyards regularly. It shouldnt be a problem to get used parts.

Danny, who had them built passed away last April and another buddy bought them all, including an Isetta cab. Danny also had a Bell Motorsports E46 M3 GTR V8. The E30 V8 is now badged as 345i. It makes for a pretty interesting engine bay. The V12 in the E36 is cool too although power wise I think the V8 is probably better and easier to modify.

[matt]

OMG!!!!!! They're reproducing!!!!

Good luck finding a manual tranny for under 1700.

[matt]

Haha... naaaaahh.

[golde30]

lol, do you just drive around with v12's in yer truck bed all the time?

[rs4pro3]

Henrico Pull-a-part FTW :rofl:
anything else of interest down there? I was contemplating driving down next week to get some parts for the e28

[matt]

Yep, you got it, Ely. I think I've helped to pull every V12 that's ever come into that yard.

I didn't notice anything too great. The second 750i had pretty much all the suspension components left, but no telling if they'll still be there. No good e30 parts at all. :(

[rs4pro3]

lol, My e28 just needs some random oddball parts, but I might just go by Buford first as they are closer to me.

[PiercedE30]

What's planned for the tranny?

[nando]

doooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit :)

[87-325ic]

there is a 750 in a yard here. it was a "newer" one..

i used to marvel at that double m20. nothing like two banks of 6.

then someone pulled the motor.

was it you?
