This might be in the wrong forum so please move if need be. Has anyone out there put a BMW V8 engine into a 318ti. I have found plenty of info about the staight 6 and even the V12 being fitted but nothing on the V8. I have a crazy mate who wants my to mate my ti with the running gear from a 540. |  |  | | 03-04-2006, 04:30 PM | #2 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

Check out www.hartge.de The Hartge 5.0 is a 4.4L V8 from a 540 stroked to 5.0L with 370hp & 376ft-lb. Here's the link: http://www.hartge.de/html/e36compactuk.html Not much info, but there was a write-up in BMWCAR magazine. I think it was back in early '00. Cheers, __________________
