Dyno torque are 8k if I provide the engine and transmission .


New thought and new plans.

Now that looks possible...

That's a good deal. Would just need to budget for an engine rebuild on my 134k item.

Add another £1,100 if you want the manifold to actually fit the turbo though : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E46-32...item5d3447d7e7

Aaaah- I meant to check that because it wasn't included in the kit.
All comes back to the Z3M then ...

At the Celebration of Maserati 100th year mine will have a price tag of £18,000. If anyone buys it expect to see a VERY fast Z300S some time soon, :-)

Hmm- wonder if I could get away with bearing shells and a new oil pump without the rebore...
Oh and a thicker head gasket.

z3m is still the way.......

You can get a 1 for £7k upwards but im sure you'l be able to pick 1 up for £6k in December/January

[WorldClassAccident]

z3m is the most likely route IF I decide to proceed but they are all manual and I need an auto box. I might just settle for the basic 200bhp cruiser.

Then again, a Z3M with a turbo and auto bolted on...
