 V10 E30 M3 Build | « » 10:51 AM 8-10-2009 | |
|
About a year ago, there was a thread about a local shop building an E30 M3 with a V10 for a guy with an extensive BMW collection. The car is nearing completion and here is a lengthy pictorial of the fabrication work which has gone into the car. Needless to say, it's very impressive. Given that every suspension pickup has been changed and the car has new subframes, new track, etc, it may be fair to say it's an E30 M3 in body shape only. Outside of the shape, it's truly a custom car and not just a drivetrain swap:

Soooo very pretty as it sits (needs non-black wheels IMO but whatever). But with the amount of build into it to cram that V10 in, wow... what an incredible build. It's pretty amazing what can happen when money is no object

I wonder too about the price of a project this big, it's gotta be pretty hefty. I hope he has money left over for artificial legs because he's going to need it if he crashes into something. Those front frames don't look too crumply compared to knees  Incredible work. I'd love to have the time and money to do this myself!
