    Let me introduce myself...

    Hi all!

    My name is Rob and I'm from Nottingham, and I thought I'd come and say hello, as you'll be seeing a lot more of me on this forum, as I'm just getting cracking with my new project; putting an Audi 20v 5 pot engine in an e30 BMW!

    I hope I don't upset too many people with this idea, but it should be awesome!

    I'll get a project thread up soon, so make sure you pop in and have a gander!

    Cheers!

    sounds like a good project, what will you be doing about a gearbox? i assume you'll stick with bmw, in which case how will you bolt it to the engine?
    oh and put up some pics of the e30

        Hello and
        i had an e30 for a while and really liked it,often wondered what it would be like with a 20vt motor,look forward to your project thread
        It's a love/hate relationship with the S2,i love it,it hates me

          Well, I don't like the idea of swaping an engine that is not from the same group... but, sounds to be very interesting and I wish you a good luck with the project! BTW... post some pics from your conversion! WELCOME Aramil !

            Hi &

            Sounds an interesting one, can I ask why you want to use the 5cyl Audi lump tho? There are lots of other proven routes for e30 conversions thats all..
