Is that an 3.0 M30 BMW engine in your Haynes then?

I've no idea but was intrigued that he appears to be using a BMW M30 in a Haynes. That's a huge / heavy lump, which would account for the rather lardy kerb weight

I think he has a 3.0 V6 Alfa engine and a BMW Getrag box (if you put the post and signature together). Not sure what the question was though....
