Xmas present for SJ & IE

Didn't Racing Dynamics make them (or something similar)?

[integrale_evo]

Yes please, I’ll take two

[nuttinnew]

Much want for that than that E30 M3 Assuming it started life as a 6 slinger, what's the weight penalty of the 12 bore?

[ZedLeg]

iirc it’s not much. The straight six has an iron block and the V12 is all aluminium.

[integrale_evo]

Yeah, don’t think it’s anything daft, there have been a few e30 v12s over the years and the e36 platform sits the engine quite a bit further back.

Tbh though the e90 m3 v8 is the engine swap to do in the older cars at the moment, but, V12

[nuttinnew]

Excellent, almost justifiable "because old engine heavy"
I don't know BMWs so no idea of the year of the V12 but it looks/seems like a decent period mod rather than anything unnatural. Probably where Aston got the idea from for the Vantage.

[integrale_evo]

Compact was 94-2000, 850 csi was 91-96, could also get a v12 e38 750 through most of the 90s which would be adequate..
