[2mAn]

***Editors Note: This car has been on my radar for a while. The last few months was fun to have the different types of E30 racecars, but now lets throw something out there that I think everyone will enjoy. Mtech1, check. S52, check. BIG power, check. I think we've got a winner. Enjoy! Congrats to our September 2016 Car of the Month***

Story behind the car:
I came across this car after finding a built m10 turbo for sale. The engine was originally intended to be installed in this 318, but the previous owner never did. I bought the car for $1250, and have spent many times more than that modifying it. It's a never ending project.

Nice setup! I've been dying to see how those deep dish Rials would look on an e30.

Actually the paint peeled off there from the glue that was used. It's a shame but i think it's funny

I actually got more pics, but had to remove several of them due to the gigantic size. I will update the original post when I get them. Well deserved COTM

I got a chance to see Matteo's car in person about six or seven months back when he came to buy some AC lines from me- this car sounds amazing!
