Hmm... At least 15-20 post on the EXACT drivetrain options you need. Yet another example you don't use everyone's considered time and expertise to your advantage...

Alan,
Don't you feel some responsibility to turn that lens around and look at your own reactions to the recommendations given herein? I don't think it is fair to be upset with someone for pointing out that you haven't acknowledged the COUNTLESS examples of good advice. That doesn't make their input negative. In my opinion it makes your reception of the advice negative.

Sorry man, we all wish you can find a reasonable path to success here.

Why should I? You have at least 5-6 experts chiming in on exactly what to do yet you disregard everything everyone has suggested. Seriously Alan, you ask for help and then discount everyone's help. Markos actually called the seller for you yet still no acknowledgement of the time and effort spent on your behalf. I'm just telling you like it is. You're being disrespectful to all that have offered suggestions. I'll let myself out now! ;)

Alan, I think you are beginning to or have successfully burned out the people that are trying to help you. You aren’t paying attention to what people are advising. No one likes to be second guessed and no one likes repeating themselves. This vicious cycle has been going on since 2016 and no progress has been made. I strongly suggest you go back and look at what good folks have been advising you to do. It seems like there are people pointing directly at a solution and you seem to be only half listening and pointing to something completely different. You are burning out your audience.

ok pologize for the comments about all the advise given
its not that im ignoring all the responses. its that
i dont know which way to go. ive looked for the complete car
way , and also the motor out of the car.
ive really thought of the way to go and the cost of each direction.
"i wont ask for any more advice" as its all been noted many
times. i really appreciate all the comments and its up to me not to
figure out a direction with the available amount of funds i have to draw
upon .
again thank you very much for all your advice and comments.

DREAM DREAM---

This engine technically was never in a BMW. It was in a couple of BMW LeMans cars, but the only road car that ever featured the S70/2 was the McLaren F1. Gordon Murray, the brilliant man who designed the F1, needed an engine that had the power, throttle response and sound that he thought the F1 deserved. Paul Rosche of BMW’s M Division developed a 6.1 liter V12 producing 618hp for Murray and his F1. Most people who’ve driven the McLaren F1 say that its engine could possibly be the greatest in history. It was incredibly high-tech, using quite a bit of magnesium, twelve individual throttle butterflies for the intake and a dry-sump oil system. However, it’s the immediacy of its power delivery, the manner in which it revs to its 7,500 rpm that makes the engine so special. It’s a marvel of mechanical engineering and is not only the best BMW engine ever made, but possible the best engine ever made. Period.

Did you know that BMW put one in an X5? Here is Stuck taking it around the Ring.

above level?

Same reason that Jaguar had to mess up the headlight arrangement of the Series onee-type cars, and start producing the Series 2 model.

Now, the NHTSA has not done a thing about headlights on SUV's and Pickups that are so high they are essentially at eye level for the driver of a standard sedan (or e9), literally blinding that driver even when on low beam. UGH. Big deal to make a change in '68, now 55 years later a problem is ignored.

Pretty sure that's a no go. I have a 114 brain in my 79 635csi, and when I was first trying to get it started (it sat for ten years before I bought it), I swapped in an m30b35 brain. It started, but would not idle smoothly. The idle was very lumpy, almost like a muscle car with a big cam. So while it ran, it did not run well. I'm pretty sure going the other way would be a problem too.

Question - can you get the engine (and tranny and dif) from that car? It would be a nice setup for a coupe.
