Been thinking lately about doing an engine swap on a BMW e36 coupe as there very cheap to buy now and i like the look of them but i just think there under powered. I know of the M3 but id struggle to buy a decent one for the cash i have let alone run one. So ive been thinking of fitting a 2l turbo lump from a doner to one but not sure what engine to go for.

i know of a few cossie engined examples but the YB isnt the cheapest engine to come across now, so im thinking jap. i could get a sr20det motor from a 200sx with box ect for under a grand so was thinking along those lines.

Does anyone know of any e36 coupes with odd engine swaps? would be nice to see to get ideas.

Cheers.
