A Norwegian tuner has actually implanted a huge cars heart in a compact three-door. The outcome is a real sleeper that puts out 400 horse power.
There was a time when BMW’s advancement department explored in relatively unreasonable area. Particularly when planting especially thick engines in tandem, these engines do not truly fit them. Think about Goldfisch’s deceptive job, as part of which they seriously squeezed a V16 engine into the body of the 7 Series E32 generation in Munich. In 2001, Hans-Joachim “Strietzel” Stuck ran past the Nürburgring Nordschleife in an insane time of 7 minutes 49 seconds with a BMW X5 V12 Le Mans simply as insane. Hanging a V12 engine in the front of the very first 3 Series compact didn’t even make BMW engineers believe that they were on the brink of insanity.

And developed the concept simply detailed, changing the rather leisurely 102- horse power 1.6-liter four-cylinder with the engine from the BMW 850 CSi.
5.6-liter V12 rather of 1.6-liter R4
Its crucial information: twelve V-shaped cylinders with an overall displacement of 5.6 liters!

The Norwegians took some undefined actions to get about 400 hp from the CSi engine. The brand-new exhaust system most likely played a huge function because. Christiansen calls the noise of the engine so “surreal” that you need to experience it on your own.

The ideal fit: Where the 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine slept previously, now the 5.6-liter V12 rules supreme.
In order to adjust the biggest engine used by BMW at the time to the tiniest Munich design of the time, more significant tuning procedures were needed. Tarjei Christiansen took apart the 3 Series Compact into a bare chassis, fitted some technical parts from the M3 and M Roadster at the time, and provided it substantially larger wheel arches at the back. As an outcome, there is likewise a brand new chassis structure around, that makes the E36 look really wedge-shaped.

As you can see from the V12 crusher, this is not the tame 316 i Compact in its initial state. He used a complete M bag on him. Neither the very first, 2nd or 3rd glimpse, the titanium-silver-painted BMW has actually exposed what power is concealed in it. It presently rolls on Hartge rims. There’s a little defect in creativity here, as Christiansen initially pushed three-piece air conditioning Schnitzer wheels in 8.5 and 9.5 ×18- inch formats into the cutouts offered.
