This BMW E36 Coupe Has A Nissan Skyline RB25DET Engine And I Want It Badly

Now's your chance to buy a BMW E36 like no other! It features a Nissan Skyline RB25DET engine and gearbox, and looks like it'll be one hell of a car once the project is finished off by its new owner!

This BMW E36 Coupe Has A Nissan Skyline RB25DET Engine And I Want It Badly

Many of you will know that I’m currently looking for a new car to sit alongside my lovable MX-5. I’ve bored many of you to death with pictures of E34 M5s, E24 635 CSIs and E28 M535is. Now, my gaze is focussed on E30s and E36 M3s, which is how I found this unicorn on eBay.

[EDIT: it seems that within minutes of being listed on eBay, it’s already been sold!]

The car’s been built by a mechanical engineer and features a Nissan Skyline RB25DET twin-cam turbo engine with approximately 250hp (the engine’s standard power figure). The engine is mated to a Skyline gearbox.

According to the seller, the JDM-powered E36 is an unfinished project, with a few things left to do until completion. These include replacing the heater matrix, fixing up some body imperfections and sorting the headlining.
