Yea it did look to be a funky angle. Looks cool though! And na just sell it and buy a mini. Im planning on a57/58 reg 335d bmw once the house is bought at the end of the year-ish. So dont need a massive car and mini's are cheaper on parts to mod than jdm imports. A tuned a series is alot cheaper to build than my forged 4e was lol. That was around 7/8k of engine and thats just the engine, was over a good few years to get it to that point though. I built my old 1330 engine and it was quiet reasonably priced imo. its labour/machining that gets pricey. And between me and my mate we do 99% of it ourselves.

An e90/e91/e92...my love of BMW's is like your love for Toyotas!! £7/8K is Deifinitely more expensive than a Mini build, Minis are cheaper obviously than most other cars, but performance A-Series can end up costing as much as a full conversion if you know what you're doing!! Sure man, keep us posted, be excited to see what you do with a Mini...

Nice one man!! The M57 is a mightily impressive engine for a diesel, just make sure there ain't no damage to the timing chains and all that stuff, or it'll get proper expensive!! But still 280 ish break standard is immense!! Have fun with it
