why someone want to convert good car into crap car engine

u dont read the thread arent u?

i giv u why,
-cheaper maintenance
-better fc

just put proton engine more cheaper and better fc also very cheap spare part

Waste chassis only put crap engine into bmw

the part of better fc i dont think so cos you know la japan engine ketahanan are not suitable with european car body and i think the japan engine will use more fc when put inside bmw

craps? rb/sr engine is classics.

Most users are claiming that the original old engine is giving off more trouble than the Jap engine. Plus parts are expensive. Also, 1jz and 2jz engines can churn out reasonably amount of power & fun.

Proton engine would be a strain as compared to a 318. Even the 318 is an underpowered car.

agreed
banyak je those old 5 series and old 3 series especially the e30's have been changed to nissan sr/rb/ca or toyota's 1jz/2jz or 3sgte engine due to low maintenance and higher bhp to fc value

its not about german made or jap made, a 20yo machine is a 20yo machine.

bwm or datsun, after 20yrs, time for a change.

hehe...i got a macha pal..old e28 wiv 1jz..speed cut added de...on highway, new e60 530 smell his asap only...hehehehe..the pull really powerful..really a sheep in wolf clothing...

a combination of continental and japanese and we get continese

wait till you own a BMW then u know

i only recognize the engines from the M division, and also the current twin turbo straight six from the 335i as good engines, any other engines from bmw to me is considered crap, so yeah, to ask your first question again is why use a standard crap engine in a good car?

How we wish we can play with those M division engines. But unfortunately, we are living in a real world.

don't look down japanese engine. 1jz can smoke any bmw anytime if tune properly. even fairlady 350 swap 1jzvvti in youtube.

ppl want to play with original engine or convert......bia je lah

+1 bro

owner got money to spent.. why not...

money ...??No big deal

Check youtube.com

BMW with 1jz for drifting by a Japanese....

Is that crap?

Lotus using toyota engine.....

Is that crap?

BMW e36 with 1.8 engine....

Is that crap?

In Holland (if i'm not mistaken. Read the thread MANY years back), Mitsubishi Evo using BMW engine.....

Is that crap?

If it is something that no man has ever done before, it is art, innovation, creative. And if all these are crap, why are they still doing it? I'm a business man, if the thing is crap but people are still doing it, you have to adjust to the latest trend / requirement. There is a market for it. A market niche that we haven't though of.

and there are lot kind of market that we even doesn't know how and what

lol. always has this kind of stock vs modded.

stock vs stock la.

conti body with japanese soul. i'd pass.

budget wise go for toyota engine..if got extra $ the M3/M5 engine definately
