well... This wont be as exciting but I am able to show you guys the engine build up which wasnt as in-depth as we hoped, but its a solid runner and a solid runner is a solid runner. Mostly a full on head-job ;D

If I was rich I'd have a BMW e30 M3 DTM replica, Mercedes 190e 2.3 16v DTM replica, and Audi UR Quattro Group B replica all sitting in a 3 bay garage next to each other. Anyways enough of my wet dreams.... Looking forward to this build!

The body should look 100% accurate, but we left the engine stock 2.3 ECE (Euro) motor for reliability and eventually plan on building it up

You are dong a great project,,, but when doing such a great goal,, and you car engine bay looks like a shit in the forest,, full of leaves etc,,,

how can you work on the car ,, with this mess in front of you ?

but 190E 2.3/2.5 16v is a fantastic car

Found this last night searching around on Craigslist.

Is this what they're actually going for?!?! For the price of a very sad entry level rusted out e30 M3, could I basically have a brand new 190e Cosworth? Granted it needs a little love and care, but still.

Sad thing is, not even 10 years ago you could buy 2.3 16V 190E's for about 1/3 of that price.

a little over a year later and the bodywork is done. all i can say is wow. pics coming tomorrow. nice surprise coming back for the holiday and seeing something I wasn't expecting. looks so good!

I left my info for a car many weeks ago. Only after my impulse Dinan E34 purchase do i get a call. A two owner 2.3 in black with brown. Parked 4.5 years ago, running.

I tried to push it off. Said keep it another year, wait for me.

looking forward to pictures

This is what I would love to have!!! Still looking for a 16v, but I would have to sell the h26 to fund it. Yes, there was a time they were pretty cheap, but then again so was the m3:)
