Also check out my street legal E30 Convertible with an M50 swap for sale: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=366750
1987 BMW E30 chassis Ford 302ci 5.0L Ford World Class T5 5-speed transmission
It has been fully modified for Drifting and Track use only and can never be returned to the street, ever. The vehicle will come with a bill of sale only. It is very fast weighing approximately 2900lbs with an estimated 300hp and 350lb/ft of torque. With the smaller rear wheels, the car will burn out completely through 3rd gear to the rev limiter. (currently set to 4500 rpm to save the engine) It is currently setup for drifting, to bring it to the race track simply install a 3.73lsd and bolt on the larger rear wheels.
Unfortunately I don't have any action pictures with the new front suspension and wheel setup. The rest of the pictures are current, and watch the videos below!
Interior Modifications:
Full roll cage with FIA rated padding
OMP FIA rated drivers seat and side mounts (made for larger drivers)
Schroth FIA rated 6pt drivers harness with cam lock
Compbrakes Hydraulic e-brake setup

Passenger seat is e30 sport seat and has 4pt latch harness
Power windows are still intact (nice for storing outdoors)
Drivetrain Modifications:

- Very trick hydraulic clutch conversion with Willwood clutch pedal assembly and master
- Delrin Engine mounts with custom steel engine mount arms
- Custom steel transmission mount with rubber bushing
- Custom one-piece driveshaft
- 3.73 welded rear differential (slides 3rd gear for 50-80mph sideways)
- Also comes with 2.79 welded rear differential not installed (better for learning with 2nd gear)
- Massive electric cooling fan
Brake and Suspension Modifications:
- 5 lug conversion up front using e36 M3 spindles
- 315mm front brakes with stainless steel lines

- Hyperco 550lb front springs

Wheels and Tires:
- Set of four 17"x9" e39 540i Sport package "wishbone" 5 spoke wheels
- Two are currently mounted on the front with 255/40R17 Falken Azenis RT615K tires
- Two are currently unmounted and have a used pair of the same tires waiting
- Rear has 14" Bottle-cap e30 wheels with 50% wear burners
- To mount the rear 17"x9" wheels there is a set of (4) very nice and very pricey machined adapters though you only need (2)
Exterior Modifications:
- Spray painted white body
- Hood has custom vent and louver plates, all required for the high heat of drifting at lower/sideways air speeds
- Super custom bent trunk mod. Tapped the back end on a K-wall a little too hard, now the whole trunk is bent slightly left, you can see it in the pictures. Its a drift car, stuff happens.
The pictures I have are too high quality and the forum will not let me upload them even when I make them the required dimensions. Sooooooo.. please take a look at the auction to see the pictures. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-3-Series...m=181864166089
A little demonstration from last month:

If you would like to make an offer on the car know that I will not take less than $6500 and the vehicle is for sale other places. Give me an email at mknoot (at) gmail.com to talk about it.
