BMW 350i: E30 3 Series With A 350Hp BMW V12 Engine!

Created in Germany the 350i E30 is equipped with a BMW 7-Series /8-Series derived 5.0-litre V12 engine tuned to deliver 350Hp @ 6.000 rpm and a maximum torque of 470Nm to the rear wheels via a 6speed manual gearbox form the 850CSi. And yes, we’re still trying to figure out how the heck the mechanic managed to squeeze a 5.0-litre V12 powertrain in that teeny-weeny engine bay. Amazing.

According to the magician -sorry, tuner, this one of a kind E30 V12 features several other goodies like a BMW Z3 M Roadster rear axle, E34 M5 rims and some other stuff from the E36 M3 which unfortunately, couldn’t be translates from the German-only site. What could be translated though are the 350i’s performance figures: 0 - 100 km/h (62mph) in 4.0 sec, 0 - 160 km/h (100mph) in 9,4 sec and 0 – 200 km/h (124mph) in 15,5 sec!

It goes from 0-200 equally fast as the M5!

kudos to the mechanic/tuner who achieved this.

I think I talked to a guy involved with this car, back when I had an 86 735i, there was a guy in Germany with an e23 745i (early turbo 7 series), with ridiculous power and 5-speed conversion, he mentioned an e30 with a wild engine swap, but maybe it was the 3.5 turbo.
