I work with mike at the shop. The car can be restored with a newer 6 cylinder M engine and be great to drive. But he has these crazy ideas of swapping in Nissan engines into cars whose original engines could kick ***. I really dn't want to swap in a KA into the E30 myself, but the engine in the E30 right now will be redone and put into our other E30 chasis... an 84 measly 318. Just looking at an engine with ITBs is enough to save it. Please convince Mike NOT to swap in a KA or an SR into the chasis. SAVE THE M3!!!! Oh, and I'm new here, but I do have a nissan. I have my oldschool 200SX which will be revieving the SR20DET in it as soon as I find time to gather some more parts for it. Anyways, yes Mike is the richest Poor kid ever. No one can touch his richness.
