the car
the swap
the engine
certainly not as glamorous as an E36 M3 engine swap, but ~190hp in an E30 worked pretty well for the original M3; with a torquier six providing the same amount of peak horsepower, a bit of weight reduction to counter the heavier engine up front, and a lower final drive and limited-slip in the rear diff, this could be one of the cheaper/better project ideas i've had; i yearn for something rear-wheel-drive again.
