So from what I gather, you wrecked the green car and the engine is going into a bronzit now?

correct!


wheels are 8x17, with 215/40/17 on the front and 235/40/17 on the rear

it's not much heavier than an iron block m20












also put the six speed gearbox off the m5 in

If brits spent as much time with oral hygene as they do wrenching on cars, they'd be a country worth having in Europe.....

:) Great ride Glenn. Next time remember its not a Nascar......

[Ryan Stewart]

I want one. I might have to sell my S50 now.

[2002maniac]

E39 ///m5

also came in the Z8.



Very nice swap, not much room left over!

[marakka]

Ummm..... isn't the z8 version about 440hp though?

[CleanAzzE30z]

Ummm..... isn't the z8 version about 440hp though?

Not that I know of. Perhaps a little touch of hp more due to the shorter trip out the exhausts. Whenever they put an engine in a roadster that was in a Coupe or sedan, it always has a little change in hp due to the re-engineering of the intake and exhausts to make the engine fit. The later (Alpina) Z8's came with a 3.8L M62, I believe. Its so they could mate an auto tranny to it since BMW didnt have one that could take the power of the ///M5 engine. After that they were all auto. SO the rich yuppies who thought shifting was too much bother in a car made to perform and carve could get it and have their status-mobile and drive with one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding their cell phone. Yes, Im bitter. haha.

[CleanAzzE30z]

also came in the Z8.

true. But that was a very limited production-run car. I wouldnt call it the "Z8 engine". :)

[Il Duce]

how did you come across this engine man?

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

cool!

[cramer]

true. But that was a very limited production-run car. I wouldnt call it the "Z8 engine". :)

lol, I would and just for the reason you stated :D

[Jordan325iC]

Wow, new sexiest swap ever. 400hp in a 2800lb car w/ 6spd must be awsome.

How much did you pay for the engine/total swap?
