whats the size difference between the 86 and e30? are they much bigger?
BEAMS E30
I'll be watching this build thread with great interest. A conversion I keep coming back to for my track car. If I ever do anything other than a 2.7-3.1 M20, it will be a BEAMS/6speed, or bolt my Saab B234 up to the E30's Getrag 240.
E30, the new KE70.

E30:
Wheelbase: 2,570mm
Length: 4,326mm
Width: 1,660mm
Height: 1,400mm
Weight 1070kg(S1 318i) - 1350kg(probably a wagon with all the excess wank)
AE86:
Wheelbase: 2,400mm
Length: 4,200mm
Width: 1630mm
Height: 1340mm
Weight: 1000kg-1100kg.
Not much between them at all, really.
Even with my AE86 right next to the E30, you can't tell the difference in size. Only 12.5cm in total length so there really isn't much in it.
In pictures, E30 do look bigger than they are though due to their well proportioned design.

you guys ever seen a s42b20 race engine from a e36? pretty much a m42 race modified to 2L with itbs making 300hp+
i like the idea of making 200hp from a m42 stoked to 2L over a m20 stroked to 2.9L these days. could be done cheap enough for me and apparently only uses as much fuel as a stock m20b25. i got my stock m20b25+manual box in my last e30 down to 600kms from a 60L tank which is good for a m20. my current m20+auto box only gets 500kms a 60L tank.

I'd love some fuel economy out of my 320i, it seems to get ~200-300km from a full tank, even if I'm driving like a grandma. Something has to be wrong. Might have to give my engine a service before I buy springs, I reckon.
stroked 2L ca18-ae86 in the build...eta xmas 2012?
I'm really loving Speedhunters recent interest in BMW related material.
