Something is going to be built around our engine...

It's a matter of debate what it'll end up looking like at the moment though...

Mine is the E28 5 series and the engine is the big block straight 6 'M30' engine.... And it really is big.

If you're looking at using BMW for something like a Locost you're either looking at a lot of redesigning yourself or use something like the design that you will find at http://www.fordsix.com/locost/Collins.pdf

I'm not the person to ask about BMW based kits of other types... Maybe somebody else might have some idea what is available..?

If I can be of any further help don't hesitate to give me a shout...

I'm not likely to give up my nice BMW straight six for an underpowered Ford lump of cack
