Check out FrankenBav. Pretty much the same, just in a Bavaria.

I think he meant more of a S50/52 (the US E36 M3) engine, rather than the S14. If you are going to go M engine, go S38.
Although, it would be sweet if someone shoehorned in a S62 running off a Motec system. 400hp, 400tw, light V8... it would probably rip the car in twain!
Now that I'm thinking about V8 swaps, a LS1 would probably be a good choice. Both would certainly ruin the driving characteristics, though. Throw the weight balance completely off.

yeah... thanks for that, atlas. i'm way behind on increasing my knowledge base. I think you're right though, a V8 could twist the heck out of an E9.

No need to remove the old info, he may have meant the S14. I do recall seeing a M10-powered E9 on German Ebay once. It was in bad shape, though.
