"Unique Toyota Celica: A Fusion of BMW Parts and Power"

A custom Toyota Celica has been brought back to life using parts from four different BMWs, including a 2001 323i from which it inherited the M50 engine. The project also involved borrowing the rear end from a 2011 BMW 3 Series and the steering column from a Renault Clio. The second-generation Celica now serves as a drift car with a BMW-sourced gearbox, featuring a carbon-Kevlar body, vented hood, rear wing, fender flares, and a custom heated windscreen. The project showcases the effort and creativity involved in rescuing a neglected car by repurposing parts from other vehicles.

BMW-Powered Toyota Celica: A Custom Automotive Labor of Love

Daniel Railean's heavily modified second-generation Toyota Celica, powered by a BMW engine, is a testament to years of hard work and dedication. Railean purchased the rusty car on eBay and transformed it into a drift car, using parts from various vehicles including a BMW E46-generation 323i engine and a Renault Clio steering column. The car's exterior features a mix of inspirations, including a tall rear wing reminiscent of Rauh-Welt Begriff Porsches and underbody neon inspired by The Fast and the Furious. Railean drives his classic Celica daily and enjoys the attention it receives on the road.
