It's a Friday thing

I was having a look at the dreaded Evil Bay.....
While trolling through the BMWs I found a 4 wheel drive 5 Series (E34 I think) not the jacked up soft roader things
I was wondering if you could stuff that 4 wheel drive system in an e9 :shock:

Then I woke up

Shame I dont have
The money
The time
or permission from her indoors :wink:
No Malc No!!!

Lots of custom fabrication required for that.
Front subframe, custom oil pan, custom power steering, wheel power transfre mechanisms, making room for the transfer case, changing rear diff/subframe, custom transmission mounts/crossmember...

The list goes on and on. Plus, those systems can only handle about 250rwhp before it croaks

Hey - Stop the reality
Imagine that ever open bank account :lol:

Just thought it would be fun epecially after seeing a 850HP Saab which uses the Swedish Tractive 4 wheel drive system (www.tractive.se)

Ah.... perchance to dream :roll:

Big modifications!

Malc,

You scare me........... And I think this insanity is catching. After our chat the other day ( is it possible to get an 850CSi engine and bits into an E9 ) I was wondering if anyone has done such a thing.

Me - I'd just love to see the 5.0 CSi badge on a bootlid. All the work would be beyond me!

I believe the "Will an M70 fit an e9" question was answered -- yes. Not without some creativity, but general dimensions are do-able.

What you really want is the S70/2 -- the McLaren F1 engine... :twisted:
