I really don't want to hijack this wonderful thread. I only posted this here because I had a specific question about BMW's. I will say this though. While your comment may be generally true, it is not true for all. I appreciate your reply, but some of us, like me, would find a two passenger car totally useless. I absolutely MUST have a 4 door car that will hold three adults and has a strong enough driveline, and a large enough engine bay to house an 11" motor with a 23" shaft length. That is why I wondered about a BMW. I think it is about as small and light as I can possibly go, and it may be too small.
