V8 it is

Don't get a 530 unless its just for the trans/ engine harness. Hold out for a decent B40.

i agree if you want the extra horses ;)

So I just purchased my e30 last week and I was pretty set on a 24v swap till I started reading through this thread and pondering how cool it would be to have a v8 in such a light car. The video of JGood's four door is what planted the seed honestly. I've never done anything this extreme but I'm committed to it. I'm going to pick up my e34 530i tomorrow.
