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.

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.

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.

andy put one into an e36 a while back. i remember walking into his shop and wondering why the exhaust manifold was on the left side......oops.....it was on the left AND right side. if it fits the e36....it should fit the e30. only an inch or two difference. cheers, jason

About 30 lbs more than an M50.
