The BMW M240i is an interesting looking car. From some angles, it looks really good. From others, it looks odd. It isn’t ugly, nor is it great looking. It’s a bit of a mixed bag. Overall, I like it because it’s small and sporty looking and I really like its grille. However, others don’t like…

A few days ago, we took a look at an E30 3 Series with a 2JZ swap that was built specifically for drag racing. It wasn’t pretty because it wasn’t meant to be. It was a crude device meant for one purpose: straight-line speed. Today, we’re taking a look at another E30, this time an…
