I decided to bring my 335i in for a few shots.























All pictures and video were taken with my Cannon T2i.
I plan to bring both of these cars to bimmerfest.
Thanks for looking!

Good god man that car sounds incredible... And I thought the 24 valve swap was nuts. This is epic, you keep it nice and tidy. Keep it up!

[lambo]

Love the badge! That thing looks like it came from the factory like that haha! Nice work!

[Jszy25]

I saw you on LI somewhat recently. I was in my estoril e36 m3 getting gas. Heard you pull away at the light and my jaw dropped. Beautiful e30 man!

[Garageaholic]

That was me. I remember that! Beautiful e36. Good stuff man!

[moe30]

Damn, two sick cars!

[Mastrcruse]

Frank this is awesome man. Your 335 inspired my last car and this is even more over the top. I'm going back and forth about either starting a s62 or ls1 swap. That motor just looks like it fits and your swaps are always so damn clean.

LOVE IT! How does the m60 compare to the m30? Please tell me all you can!

[Garageaholic]

M60 is so much peppier. Note that I have a 3.46 in the vert, so it's less peppy. I'd take the m60 over the m30 for performance and sound. I mean, we're talking about 282 vs 220 hp, quite noticeable indeed! However, I'd take the m30 over the m60 for reliability and efficiency (compared to the m60).

I think the video says it all, but honestly, I turned every wrench on both cars. The m60 swap was much more difficult than the m30 one.

I've contemplated writing another PDF writeup for the m60 like I did for the m30. I dunno.

[george graves]

Please do a PDF - that would be great! Love the sound. It's seem like a great motor.

x2!

Is there any caravan that you are going to meet up with for Bimmerfest? I live up in Plattsburgh NY and am strongly thinking about going, but would love to meet up somewhere.

Killer car(s), btw. I can only imagine what that M60 feels like in an E30.

[E30SPDFRK]

Everyone's hopping on the m60 bandwagon, it's about time people start thinking of them as a swap option.

Looking good Frank, it's got to be tough having 2 modified and swapped e30's at once.

* que the porn music.. *

Wow. To say both of those cars are nice would be a gross understatement.

Good job Frank.
Thanks for being part of the community.

[dball4]

Pure awesome.

[Kevin_e30]

Both cars look amazing.
