The basis for the project is a 1989 BMW E30 touring wagon. Although the wagon is setup to detail other vehicles with a water tank and hose the modification we are most interested in is the power plant. Griot\u2019s Garage had a M60 V8 from a 1995 E39 540i installed under the hood. This is connected to a six-speed manual from the same E39 540i with a LSD rear end with 2.91 gears. The wagon has also had been upgraded with coilovers and Brembo brakes.<\/p>\n<p><a
