Dax go for BMW?

[andicole0]

There's thread on the Dax Sporting forum saying that Dax will be basing their Rush on BMW 3 series running gear, I wonder if that will be followed through on the 427? At least finally get rid of the Sierra column maybe.

interesting, wonder what the donor numbers are like for a single 3 series model range in comparison to the (once) massive Sierra donor population? My guess is nothing like the quantity, maybe 10% of sierra figures for a 3 series range that is 15 years old (ideal scrap car age?)

Check out Backdraft Racing cobras. The use the 3 series IRS in their Cobras. I hear they hold up pretty well

BMW E36 and 46 models outsold the Ford mondeo I believe.....Doubt the outsold the Sierra though.
