What's the German equivalent of stuffing a Chevy 454 into a Vega? Well, it would probably involve a Kadett, but this swap captures the same madman spirit: a BMW E30, into which has been stuffed the kind of V12 that tortured us in yesterday's Project Car Hell, creating the world's only 350i. Though, if as the article says, the engine is out of an 850CSi, wouldn't that make this dude the world's only 356i? No matter, as we approve of it all. Except for the big V12 logo on the trunklid. Come on, if ever you wanted to shoot for total sleeperosity, this is the time! [bmw-power.de, via Carscoop]
