It was sent to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100063684423129\">Atelier Classic Cars<\/a> in Poland for more power. The company swapped the inline-four for a 4.0 L M60B40 V8. The change made for 282 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. After a couple of years the E30 returned for another swap. This time the company installed a S62B50 V8 from a BMW E39 M5.
