Cars.co.za's video: Big turbo E30 with a BMW engine SA s iconic 600kW street and drag Beemer lives on

BMW enthusiast Steven Naidoo bought his dream car from the legendary Shaheed Essop, a big turbo E30 running with an increasingly rare BMW engine under the bonnet. Looking for a used BMW 3 Series? We have over 1200 to choose from! https://www.cars.co.za/usedcars/BMW/3-Series/ On the burgeoning South African drag racing scene, the sight of a BMW running a BMW engine is becoming an increasingly rare occurrence. For Steven Naidoo, the idea of fitting a 2JZ or engine from any other brand to a BMW is just sacrilege! And so when a hero car of his, who he had been following for years, came up for sale, he jumped at the chance to own a South African legend. Running a BMW 325 stroker motor (the displacement of which is a secret), in current tune, with 1.6 bar boost, the car is making north of 600kW on the wheels, which makes it quite a handful. Join Steven on the quarter mile as he attempts to keep the car in a straight line, and tells us all about his pride and joy. 0:00 - Intro 0:32 - The history and purchase of the E30 1:15 - The colour of the car 1:37 - Changes made to the car 2:03 - The engine 2:49 - Engine management 3:07 - The boost 3:45 - The power 4:51 - The transmission 5:06 - Suspension 5:15 - Interior 5:31 - Driving the car 7:01 - What makes the E30 special?
