///M3 engine? That's what I'm going to do, but only because I want a sleeper, and I like the E30 body style a whole lot. It's financially prohibitive, though...

I was going to suggest a S52 swap or something to him, but I assumed he wanted to keep it somewhat cheap ... hell, with a engine swap anything can be made fast, but it's gonna cost out the a$$.
No, seriously, i read somewhere that a 525e crank will fit. Upgrade the injedctors and a few other things, and it puts down like 275 rwhp. Dunno for sure, i'll look into it.
