Great swap,  very clean. That high revving motor lives up to the spirit of the 2002, which only exists because of motor swaps done some fifty years ago.

I wouldn't kick it out of my bay.

That’s a beauty.  Would love to have it. Very jealous of the S2002 crowd.

It's what Hot Rods have always been about.

Love it !

Engineering don't have any place in race, religion, nationality or political background. Great engineering is absolutely designed to be shared with.

Yeah bud, where ya been? This swap has been around for years and more and more cars are getting it which is great. If I had the money to do it right now I would. That engine sounds incredible, has an amazing amount of power per liter, and is reliable as hell.

Heh, yeah, just noticed that OP has two Landcruisers. This must be a little light trolling.

i called slavs and he agreed we have to find this car and talk some sense into the owner who else is with us?

But who is going to sell them the parts to return to stock if slavs isn’t selling his Alpina engine and dogleg 5 speed that he found for 50 cents in a junkyard 30 years ago?

That engine is so hot, it changed the color of the engine bay to a darker shade of Orange!

That is a very clean and well done BMW 2002 with Honda S2000 engine.

A german car can have japanese and/or italian parts and it still feels correct to me.

I know the owner, hes a great guy and a member of bmw2002faq.

You guys are great, if you really want to throw a fit you'll see it was a freshly built Tii prior to the swap 😍😂
