Cool DRB 540 using BMW as a donor

Hello Members,

I am new to the forum, yet have been reading the site for over 2 years. I am very interested in the DRB 540, but as I am in the UK the donor vehicle is almost impossible to obtain.

BMWs are a dime a dozen here and I am thinking of using the 3 series or 5 series BMW as the donor. It means I need to fabricate the chassis of the DRB 540 to accept the BMW parts or have a new space frame made for it. I like to know if anyone can tell me the dimensions of the Ford Falcon XR8 and the V8 dimension as I like to see what will fit a BMW 3 Series with a 4.0L V8 or a BMW 5 Series with a 5.0L V10.

I will also like to use the BMW interior so before I order the DRB 540 can someone tell me the width of the XR8 Dash that fits the DRB 540 so I can see what interior I can use and if I need to change anything.

I have contacted DRB but have yet to receive a reply, are they still selling the DRB 540?

Thank you
