inspired by a recent thread I wanted to see how fast an E30 M3 would be with the modern #BMW B48 4 cylinder.
Wioth a 200 pound driver it woudl be under 4 seconds.
Assuming it woudl nbeed 300 mopre pounds for beefier trans, diff, and heavier engine it's still 4.2 seconds and still beunder 3,000 pounds total.
The modern M3 weighs 4,000 pounds and is 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.
I don't know about you but I would take the lighter 4 cylinder car.
