BMW Motors in Not BMW's

Pfff, those are all fake.
These are factory.



Under the hood came the big surprise: the Freeclimber was available with one of three straight six engines, all sourced from BMW. First on the menu was the M20, displacing either 2.0 or 2.7, and those who wanted a set of glowplugs could choose the M21 2.4. All three engines were mated to the stock Daihatsu transmission. To increase off road capacity the rear suspension was modified and it had a limited slip differential. They finished the transformation with specific wheels.



Daihatsu redesigned the Rocky for 1993 and logically, Bertone redesigned the Freeclimber. They also renamed it, calling it simply the Freeclimber II. It used the same chassis as its predecessor but looked different aesthetically thanks to bigger fender flares, standard OZ alloys and a body-colored grille. The straight-six engines were dropped, replaced by BMW’s 1.6 M40. By the time it was launched official imports had stopped in France and Germany so most were sold in Italy, where a few even went to the Carabinieri.

This is one of the best threads on R3V in a long ass time.

This is a good one:


There's also some kid here in town with an M20 in a early-90's little Toyota minitruck.

Dude, I really like this.

Crazy how 2 of the swaps are from South Africa. The S42 Exige (which I actually think I took those pics, about 5yr's ago), and the V10 Cobra.

Nothing to contribute but I've always thought a locost/lotus 7 rep with an aluminium M52B28 or M54B30 would be pretty awesome.
