BMW based roadster

[cirrusjock]

Hi

So I have been looking for an MX5 to use as a donor. I do however have an old 3 series 2.0 BMW sat on my drive that I was going to put on ebay next week. Its mechanically sound but the paintwork has laquer peel and a few dents so could be the perfect donor.

Are the many BMW based roadsters being built? Does anyone have any links to build diarys for BMW based cars?

It is an automatic so would also need to convert it to manual. I do like a challenge though.
