BMW E36 with VTEC!

Somebody posted this on another forum and I had to share it here.

BMW E36 with VTEC.

It's definitely not for the purists amongst us, but this must have taken some work!

Any thoughts?

GO for a valvetronic BMW - not throttle - valve lift and timing is altered to control airflow into the engine instead. It's a better system than the system in my E39. My straight six has the double VANOS, which alters intake and exhaust cam timing independently but there is still a conventional throttle body. Works quite well to be honest. There's enough power and torque to drive it about and the economy is pretty reasonable, too.

It's been nicely done. I bet it actually is quite something, a lovely light revvy Honda engine in BMW's rear drive chassis. Why not!

With all the patents and rows over copying why not take the best bits from a number of manufcaturers and make one kick ass car.

It looks like a clip from a "Best Motoring" TV program, they have some interesting projects on there.

Bmw make some of the best engines out there, seems a bit pointless to me.

It's something different. It was originally a 318is so an F20 conversion isn't a bad idea tbh.

No turbo?

Not my cup of tea as I don't like Hondas, but a nice job was done in getting the engine in there and looking nice so I do give credit for that.
