Speakin' of BMW motors in everything - well sort of...
In the late 90s, I was at Rolls Royce facility in England on a photoshoot for the Franklin Mint. We were taking photographs and doing sketches to document the new rolls royce cars there. Rolls Royce was having issues with trying to get their engines to run right to comply with emissions standards. Basically they couldn't get 'em to run right. So guess what was under the big plastic beauty cover on both the Bentleys and Rolls Royces? BMW engines LOL! BMW makes great engines but just thought that that was kinda funny. BMW Arnage??? LOL!
Anyways, we're all going to like and dislike different things and that's a good thing. That way we don't see all the same stuff all the time. I like to see stuff like a Supra motor in a Camaro because those are the kind of things that SHAKE IT UP! Get people thinkin' out of the box.
When I went to see the Tokyo Drift movie - yeah I saw it and I own it and like watchin' it - I admit it. I didn't like it at first when I heard they put a Skyline engine in it but once I saw it and seen it run and why they did it in the "story" I was alright with it.
Just don't be afraid to think out of the box - even a little because that's what will set you apart from every other guy.
