    to V12 or not to V12, that's the ???

    well, so today ran into a non body damaged 12/88 750iAL

    that engine looks humoungous !!!
    here's some specs... Output (HP) 300 @ 5200

    was told that those heads usually warp, shoul i pull it anyways ???
    yet, size = more weight, the dilema :rolleyes

    Worst idea, ever.

    Sooo inconvenient, they're heavy, and its a V12--so its going to fuck up many times. Wanna change your spark plugs? Pull your engine! TT an OBD1 S52, call it a day.

      V12 in an e30 is pointless.

        I could think of much better ideas to do with my time and money.

        Then again, this guy wraps zip ties around his brake lines and calls it a mod.

          YES!!

          Almost as bad as ricers that buy fart cans and believe their car is now fast.

            Worst Idea ever. Maybe in an E36 but not an E30 :roll:

              Not a desireable swap, in my opinion. Besides, a 3.0/3.2 OBD-1 with simple mods would probably run it down. ;)

                I agree, but darn, that engine looks so sweet.
                the last thing i would want is for a 'ol muscle car type of ride.

                anyways, good eye, where's the zip tie at ?
                temporary fixes are just that.
                was it a pic of the rear swaybar being held by it ?
                IE took care of it by replacing the defective one with that actuallt fits.

                    hahaha, well if a week and a half worth of telephone calls don't do the trick, then actually showing them that the freaking thing does not fit it's key :)

                    nothing but condesending comments and no actual helpful reply even when asked for it, YIKES Internet.

                    can't expect much from someone with 80% worth of cosmetic mods, hahhah :) oh my !!! :roll:

                    anyways, looked a bit further into it and it's deffently not a good thing, i hoped for at least dual cams and 24 valve heads, that's not the case so I'll pass.

                    If anyone wants to go for it, car is at Pick A Part in Sun Valley, CA

                      Have you ever looked at my mods list? How is a front lip, a splitters, and some blacked out pieces make 80% of my mods cosmetic? I think you have it the other way around, its maybe 20%.
