BMW 6 pot in a Birkin

Since I've seen some BMW engined builds discussed here recently I have been meaning to post these pics I took of a BMW 6 pot in a Birkin at a recent show I went to.

I can't answer any questions about the car but the pics may provide someone with some inspiration.

Cheers

looks good, looks like an older 6pot, i thought most were DOHC? that looks like its a SOHC, and on carbs, although they could have done tha after, most are injection,

Still looks like a very nice install

Really nice job, love the exhaust manifold, shame about the rusty expamet.

Although it doesn't look like it in the pics, it was actually painted/coated black.
