I mean, I love the car, the OEM look and all to it....but really how does that thing hook up?
But again, I LOVE the OEM-ness to it.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

Gotta love Jalopnik:
"Dietz chose this particular motor because it's period correct"...
ummmm nup - M60 was first produced in 92, after the end of e30 production (unless BMW were going to bring out a 340i e30 vert or touring - would have been a bit niche at the end of the production run).
In the comments section they crow on about how the M60 is lighter than an "the old iron lump" M20 up front.... ummmmm nup..... and more about "period correctness", which really is just the owner couldn't be assed doing anything about the bottle caps or brakes (hawk pads aren't exactly a massive upgrade).
I'm sure we could pick the article apart further.
I am a fan of the sleeper aspect of it though.

I love the car, just not the cloud of idiocy that is jalopnik commentators.
