Paul Foster's Insane Rover V8-Swapped BMW E21: A British Spitfire with a Twist
If you're tired of the same old engine swaps, get ready to be blown away by Paul Foster's unique creation. After a decade of hard work, Foster has transformed a 1982 BMW E21 3-Series into a true masterpiece that combines British engineering with German styling.
Instead of sticking to traditional powertrains, Foster opted for a 5.4-liter Rover V8 engine, adding a touch of British flair to the German coupe. But this isn't just any V8 - it's been enhanced with Suzuki GSX-R1000 K2 throttle bodies and custom equal-length headers for a one-of-a-kind performance.
With a Cosworth T5 WC five-speed manual transmission, GAZ coilover suspension, and aggressive aero enhancements, Foster's creation is a true racing marvel. From the flared wheel arches to the color-matched roll cage, every detail of this unique restomod screams innovation and passion.
