You said the motor came out of an 88 850?
BMW didnt start making the 8 series till 91'
I think you meant 750il?
A lot of pics about the whole project. Wish I have the time one day to do that also. The spare V12 engine I already have for that

I did not say that, the author said it.
But to clarify things:
The E31 European version
850 Ci was first built in 07/1989 with the M70 engine
and
the 850Csi started 02/1992, but the V12 engine was an S70 engine.
The engine shown there is an M70 engine from a 750 E32. Not absolutely a 750iL, there was also the E32 750i short wheel base version, but never sold in the U.S.
you know.. i am a fan of doing different things but calling something what it's not (badging a bmw engine with something else, in this case) is just gay

Well,
to be honest, I am watching and visting these meetings and online places very frequently.
It started out when I got an offer for one of my V12 M70 spare engines. It was for a AC Cobra Replica.
These guys are not backyard mechanics, they even race with their cars. If you have studied how they convert basic stuff into special stuff, I can only take my hat off in front of these persons
Not one of the easiest tasks, I know what I am talking about.
I have another "hobby" and project in progress I do not want to talk about on this board, as it it is not BMW related.
you can see the dual mass flywheel. good picture to use as an example of they are arranged.

No BMW at this time, eyeing a 91 318iS. 00 Saab 9-5, 89 Bronco XLT, 05 Kawi Z1k, 00 Ducati 748S Bip
i think its awsome, at least hes not taking a fiaro (spelling) and making another gay lamboo conversion noticeable as a fake by any 10 year old, this guy is doing a good job, but i think he should just build a car without a name, just a custome car all his own.
shogun while i'd never doubt anything you say, your model dates conflict with this guy's

from what i have seen (not a lot), his seems to be the most comprehensive site on e31s.. is he off?

He may be right. I took the production start data from the realoem parts list by typing in the models in European version and the above came out.
So probably he knows better.
