I find any BMW without a BMW powerplant to no longer be a BMW. Why not a BMW V-8? or an S54? And besides that a monster V-8 and an Automatic, are you kidding me?

His listing needs pics/video of it burning the rear tires off a la the Top Gear test drive of the mad Bentley.....classic.

...and a 0-100mph & 1/4 mile time & dyno sheets.

Looks like an LS series V8. Great power, reliable, lightweight and very reasonable on cost. I would image a BMW V8 being quite a bit more expensive and harder to convert. I agree with you on the automatic though. I'm sure it runs great and is pretty fast, but why bother with an automatic if you're going to put a big power plant in?

The LS series V8 swap into Miata's is being very popular these days. A friend is getting ready to do one. I prefer the LS in a third generation RX7 myself. :cool:

I've seen the V8/Miata conversion done on TV (Speed's 'Gearz' show) and looked like a real hoot. Relatively simple kit, its all been figured out...

But have to agree, if your gonna go thru the trouble....you gotta have a stick.
