That's a sweet sounding motor, eager and ready. Love e21s, I've had three, the proportions are just right, compact, nimble and pretty. An e21 isn't a car you just own, it's a car you have a relationship with and you remember all the journeys as well as the destinations! Thanks for creating and uploading dude. 👍🙏😎
I’m a huge BMW enthusiast and I love that conversion. The character of the engine suits it perfectly. But some old BMW M20s can be a bit weedy especially with the range of climates in the states, temps etc and blowing head gaskets is a common thing. So I totally get someone looking for a bit more usability. Just looks like a hoot and people out there are putting V8s in E30s bmw engine but this has captured the character of the little 3 perfectly
I am glad you like it. Thanks a bunch for the good comments. This was my first classic BMW. I thought all BMW were junk as I never encountered one with an m20 or m30. Now I have a few m30 cars and love those motors even though they are not modern or super speedy. Point is, I can see why some might have issues with a swap like this. I super enjoy it though and love the power and speed. I can see it from both sides now 🙏
I think the weight was 360 or 390? I can't remember. I do remember it's lighter than a m10 with a turbo. Yeah, could be super sweet in a e30. There might be tons of room in front of the motor though. I had so much room that I was able to put my battery between the motor and radiator.

@@satisfiedincorporated setback of engine is never bad 🙂🙂🙂 I'm doing a m88/3 in a e30 ATM and only bad bit is how far forward it sits,
