    Bmw 340i v8 - You have to see this.

    I found this on a swedish forum.
    It has a v8 from a 740i.

    That is actually a semi common swap. I know a fellow here who did that swap into a e28, then got tired of how under powered it was, then went for the v12 tt setup....

          Well, this was built on a very low budget. The engine donor car was donated to the projekt.

            Yeah, there was also a guy in NC who had that swap done in his E30. I can't imagine that much torque in an E30. The chassis has got to be like "WHAAAAT???!!!!"

                Yup Shree. he haid it on eBay for sale. he was asking $19,000 for it though. He may still have it. Maybe I'll flag him down for the meet, if he still got it.

                  that is the dirtiest, nastiest, ugliest swap I've ever seen. Wires hanging everywhere, dash torn to shit, slushbox....no thanks, I'd rather drive a stock eta than that. The only thing that car is good for is weekend amateur drag racing.

                          I think some of you are missing the point here. It wasn´t made to win a concours or something. It is a result of a couple of weeks throwing parts together.


                          By the way, why spend money on making it nice, when one of the builders already has a Nissan S14 with a rb26 single turbo?

                            Totally missing the point, who cares if he has a Bugatti Veyron? that car is still a piece of shit. I wouldn't show it off, I might hide it in my garage and drive it once in a while, but I would never ever show it to anyone.
