I do not know if anybody here owns this car, but the better question is how does this person put oil in the car? The oil fill seems to be under the cowl.

Looks to be a Volvo conversion, I guess to put oil in it one would have to drill a hole in the cowl over top of the oil filler or........... use a flexable tube on the end of a funnel. I'm sure if the person has the capability to engineer all that plumbing under the hood they can figure out a way to get oil in it

One reason for it being back under the cowl is it is a 6 cyl. and it has an inner-cooler in front of the radiator. I bet that one will open a few eyes at a stoplight

According to the video, it's an M30 motor from a 528i BMW

Didn't watch the video but it sure looks to be a BMW engine and I'd say the M30's were/are common.

That's what i get for using the WAG system instead of watching the video. Still I bet it is a pretty quick unit, depending on how big the turbo is and how much boost it puts out.

Looks like a clean installation. But also like the heater was eliminated
and it has no a/c. Would never work for me. Looks like a fair weather
sleeper!
