Car of the Month: April 2010

[e30polak]

This is a cool swap for the mere fact that it's a v8 in an e30. However, the m60/62 is a poor choice in a motor. Heavy, guzzles gas, makes pretty pathetic power for the amount of displacement.

I'm wondering how the turn in and under-steer are in that car with all that added weight over the nose. It really messes with the weight distribution of the car.

I love the DSIIs, and the fact that it's a 4 door. I bet it's a fun car to romp around in, but I'd rather drop an LS1 in.

[ZM Blue Devil]

[IRON-E]

Good choice, Congrats man.

[5KWattson]

im jealous for the fact its a bmw V8 under the hood i really want to do a LSX gen swap but the BMW engine covers look fuckin G

[xwill112x]

how much was dropped on this swap?

[nickpdx]

Damn that's a big motor! Love the car, but it does really need an is lip!

[Big Willy]

Great looking car, and a wonderful engine swap, wish it was mine.

[325ix]

whoa that is sweet! I wish I could do that to my ix. The exterior looks great, I like the wheels and frenched lights. Who cares about the lip?

[Grif]

/sigh.
Wish that was mine.

[dashboardmonkey]

[e30s52]

Congrats greg! Your car looks great as always.

[E30SPDFRK]

What did you use for a driveshaft, Greg? I've got one from an auto e32 but its a single piece. Thinking about having a shop splice the front flange of it onto my existing one, but if you did something easier I'm all ears.

[Kershaw]

he needs an i lip, i can understand if having an is lip is too low. but having the clips out there looks half assed in a car that so much effort has been spent on.

it looks amazing though, really nice powerplant.
