Company puts Toyota Supra 3.0 turbo engines in aging BMWs
BMW 325i & M5 - Sacrilege! - Eurotuner Magazine
I've always thought that would be a good engine for hot rodding. Would be an interesting engine for a Cobra kit.

While we recoiled in horror at the prospect, Mike made a compelling argument: "The 2JZ is a very affordable engine that's both strong and reliable, and maintenance is significantly cheaper than a BMW engine. With very little tuning you can get 500hp from them, up to 800hp from the stock block. What's more, we're getting about 350-375hp in virtually stock form, and they'll even return better fuel economy than the M5 motor if you stay off-boost." At this point, we naturally covered our ears and ran away screaming.
