Hi all.

I'm Stephan from the Netherlands and just bought an 1986 350i. This car however is imported from Engeland somewhere in 2010. The english registration engraved in the front windscreen is C555VLR. It's an dark blue color car.
Not that special so far however the engine is replaced by an 4.6 litre V8. I presume from a Range Rover. Engine code RWV8D013246. According to the registartion ir should produce 191 kW = 260 bhp.

Does anyone from this forum know this car? I would like to know more about the engine because the RR 4.6 V8 should produce only 226 bhp. I would like to know if something else has been done to achive the extra 35 bhp. Or was it a to enthousiastic dynometer ??

YAY! Another Dutch person on here at last! I'm sorry to say i can't help you with the cars origins though

There was a 4.5L used in the 450SE but that would output close to 300 horses, idk where that figure of 260 came from.

Hi Vampire,

Thanks. Yes I know. The 450 is a factory TVR build engine. The 4.6 is just another Rover version. I will have it dyno checked soon to measure the exact performance.
