It's a fair bit bigger - it's 6 cylinders, so longer, I think it's a bit taller as well. It sits a long way back in the beemer so looks compact. We had a 325 then an M3 for about 4 years - I quite often looked at them wondering if they'd fit in a seven! A luego viento or marlin would take it - I guess MNR or someone would be able to build you a chassis round it - the length I think is still a problem tho.

They are great engines, and sound fantastic tho!!

chassis would want to be about 4 inchs longer thats all really to make it fit. the 6 cylinder are shorter in height to the 4 cylinder

I believe Chris G is working on a BMW version of the haynes roadster! may be worth taking a look at the roadsters website!
