Performance BMW Magazine Summer 2017 Edizione posteriore

This month we're all about the engine swaps, with a selection of awesome BM-to-BM transplants. Our cover car is a stunning E30 packing 400hp of S62 V8 power; it's one of BMW's best shapes combined with one of its best engines and if the end result doesn't get your pulse racing then you can't possibly have one in the first place.

From in-your-face E30 we move to E28 sleeper, unassuming from the outside, S50 on the inside. What a killer combo. Finally, our third engine swap star is a slice of home-grown BMW goodness in the shape of a seriously full-on, M52-swapped E30 Touring track build and this is one hardcore machine.

We've also got an absolutely gorgeous F80 M3, an absolutely wild, wide-body E90 335i and an E46 M3 racer built to an incredible standard. Plus, we're reaching the end of our series of tech guides on your braking system, this month looking at hoses and fluid, and there's even more stuff crammed into these pages for your reading pleasure.
