Looks like an early 90s M50 non-Vanos, with a custom euro intake. looks like it might have a turbo, hard to tell by the quality. Those bmws need to have their cooling systems in tiptop shape or theyll overheat, hope this guy doesnt have issues.

Intercooler and big wastegate are abit of a give away.
Obviously changed to a topmount though.

He has done away with pretty much everything VW except the body.
Its same sort of deal as the Bugster.
Just a Super Beetle body sitting on a BMW Chassis.

Super beetles don't have beams, they have struts. Early super beetles had steering boxes, later models had steering racks.

That is all BMW E30. Looks like they cut a 325 down to the floor pans and put the bug on it. The strut towers, steering rack, and front sub-frame are all Bimmer.
