    BMW Motors in Not BMW's

    I'll start:

    S14 turbo powered Mitsi Evo:









    S42 powered Lotus Exige:





    S50 powered Triumph TR6:







    No need to post Morgan, Weismann, Chevron, Mclaren or Ascari - I wanna see unusual swaps.

    Great idea for a thread! Wish I had something to contribute. Does that Exige have a build thread I can read? Anything S42 related is like crack for those of us running M42s.

          I don't sorry, but I do know it's running a full carbon body that saves 224lbs!

                              These swaps make no sense. It like putting a m20 in an e30m3.
