[Ant97GTR]

One of the most amazing projects I have seen

Looks like money was no object and the quality speaks for itself...just WOW

e-gads; got cash? may have even worked out cheaper to drop an E30 M3 shell on a shortened M5 chassis, lol

how sexy is that S85 crate motor *dribble*

money... i has more than you..........

Awesome build though.

[TwoCents]

Whats he going to do with it? .. seems like hes going to stick it in a garage, since hes a collector

Looks like a pretty basic, budget build up. Might try that this weekend with my mates in the local village using tuk-tuk parts

[R32gts-t]

that is stunning!

[Marlin]

I forwarded it onto everyone I know to see the engineering, but isn't something I'd aspire to owning. Very Nice work though

So awesome! I love E30 M3's.

How many hours went into that? 1000-2000hrs? I would hate to think of the total cost. $200-$300k? Friggin awesome. I love how integrated and snug fitting the roll cage is. Oh and the dash, how cool was it?

Talk about the ultimate E30 M3 though! That one is a keeper!!! Love to see it in action at a track.

From the looks of it, seems it was built with motorsport intentions. Possibly tarmac rallies but I'm only guessing. Was this built in the USA? It was left hand drive.

[Marlin]

All E30 M3's were left drive only.

I'd be interested to see it on a track too, I think it would stand a good chance of being a lead tipped arrow.

Would lay hella skids though and be lovely as a static display for the man who already had everything

[NickR33]

nice find Ant, truly awesome... the work on that thing is stunning... needs more dish tho lol

I'd think so too, but still cool

nope weight distribution is supposed to be spot on (they mention it somewhere in that thread)... firewall is been extensively modified, engine sits pretty far back and is only 5 cylinders long... all alloy too where as original motor was iron block

I just reckon they need to get more tyre under it... It needs 10 inchers at least with that amount of hp... he is talking about a 650bhp stroker kit too

[Black Widow]

awesome. Just awesome. I'd love to have the time, dedication, and money to be able to undertake something like this.

I never had the time to even do a bloody service on my own car..let alone such a detailed build!

Ahhh, I'm guilty of not reading it and will gladly stand corrected

[phunky_monkey]

Pretty sneaky cage design, very cool.

[Black Widow]

These guys are obviously short of money...

anyone notice the track bred porsche in the background?

Not to mention the 2 mint mustangs, and the other E46 BMW

LOL make sure you post pics of the result

Also re the comments about the weight....despite being a massive engine in terms of size it would be very interesting to compare the V10 weight against the original motor.

[nismoman]

It definitely needs wider rubber. It's got massive track and wide guards, I think they could fit wider wheels with the correct offset. They just seem a bit skinny for the amount of power and potential this car has.
