i found an amazing deal

I found an V12 for 200. It at a pull a part. What all do you have to do swap out the m20 for the V12. Stuff like suspension and bracing.

And I have searched and looked at some of the other threads and i know It wont be easy.

Well, the M7X V12 is not exactly the best motor, and besides the electronic throttles, 3 ECU's, and 1 million other pain in the ass items related to that horrible SOHC V12 I see no point whatsoever in swapping it into an e30.

Any motor is better to put into the e30 than the V12. Sure it is fucking bad ass to do, but from a PIA standpoint and power wise, there is no better way to go than the S50, or even just to turbo your M20.

I said this before somewhere... The V12 apparently has a weak block, can't handle over 550bhp safely or something around there. And it's a really horrible engine to maintain relative to other BMW mills... If you want big power, go for an M30 and then turbo the sucker. And M30's are CHEAP.

Who the hell wants 500+ hp in an E30 anyways?
Anything over 10lb/1hp is rediculous. IMO.

Ive had a 750il before, and let me tell you, even in that car you cant really get to the spark plugs. Just imagine that in a e30 now, you would have to pull the motor anytime you need to do work on it.
