Hi Todd. Here's the translation:

Hello Everybody,

Here are a few photos of my special (BMW) E30. After 8 months of work, I finally completed my "350i" in September. After I've gotten it through the TÜV (vehicle inspection process), it'll also be street-legal.

Here are some of the technical specifications:

Motor: Alpina B12 5.0 liter with 257 Kilowatts (German horsepower rating)/350 horsepower (lightly modified) (translation note: the KW and PS numbers are identical, just given in different scales)
Gearbox: from a BMW 850i/csi; 6-speed manual
Suspension: (BMW) E36 struts/shocks, Rear axle totally modified from an M-Roadster
Brakes: Power brake system from BMW 750i (H31-set-up), Rotors and calipers (front & rear) from a BMW E36 M3 3.2 liter car
Exhaust: specially contructed exhaust using the standard catalytic convertor from a BMW 750i

Rather than write everything down, I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

MfG Robert (I don't know what MfG means - perhaps a job title?)

Hope that helps,
Andy Seward
