When are you starting.
V8 burble from a Z4
I am very tempted. The gearbox we know we can do. We are working out if my new clutch would work. Engine mounts won't be a problem it will fit. Exhaust might be tricky. It dose not weigh much more and is shorter than the 6 so the weight is more central.
I will be using a standalone ECU if I turbo and the turbo and this would cost about the same? And at 280 Bhp and 290 ftlbs and then a blower 500 ish of each!!

It’s running quite well. The new gearbox is in and working. It needs a different final drive. And there is a small issue with the PAS system apart from that all good. I will grab some pictures tomorrow if i remember.
