Doesn t really need an engine up front. It s got a rocket motor.
As I recall, the primary source of propulsion was still a standard internal combustion engine - The rocket motor was a booster power source, so it should still have an engine in it 
Good luck performing parking manoeuvres with the rocket motor!

Looks like the run out 'Lux' version I lusted after in 1992 when I was in (yet another) new sales role.My company car manager wouldn't stretch to a meagre 116i for me and I had to settle for a fleet favourite 405 1.9td GLX (but with aircon as standard!!!).
Didn't stop me drooling over one like this (but with the correct cross spoke 15inch alloys?) at Ashdown BMW. A few years later I had to stump up my own cash for a car having left the repping world, and scratched the E30 itch with a 325Ti. Great fun, but proof (if ever it was needed) that running someone else's car with someone else's money is much cheaper for you. And that's before you add insurance costs (after piloting company cars for ten years with no 'evidence').
