10k: 1989 BMW 340i; E30 w/ M60 V8 6-spd

The E30 BMW chassis is well known for its build quality, nimble chassis and sweet sounding inline-6 engines.  It isn't known for speed, even the M3 version is slow compared to most modern machinery, so it makes sense to swap in a big V8 from another BMW...right?  Why not let someone else do the work and buy this 1989 BMW 340i with M60 V8 from a 740i, for sale in Costa Mesa, CA via craigslist.
