Project DS e30 m3.

[sonnyqm3]

I am finally gonna build a car that I have wanted since HS. A BLK e30 M3 except not with a S14. I bought the car as a roller from a guy on S14.net. It was missing a lot parts that I had buy from people on the forums or new. The car will have new suspension, new brake system, new interior, new paint job and of course the bad ass euro s50b32 with the 6 speed trans, cams, CF air box, Alpha N tune and much much more.. Here is some pics for now but stay tuned..

This is what we did today at the shop...

That hawt red M3 wasn't good enough eh?

Good on ya for doing this dude, I look forward to following this build. Are you using the same s50b32 as the other car or did you get a new one?

Also if you don't mind me asking how much did you pick up that shell for? I dream of being able to do a project similar to this one day.

just curious, why did the M3 had 4x100 hubs? its weird to see a M3 shell with bottlecaps :D

Someone probably sold the e30m3 5 lug and e30 4 lug was put on to make it a roller.

[sonnyqm3]

No gonna keep the e30 m3 brakes but might go with the brembos in the front as long as it clears my wheels.

Good pads on stock e30 m3 go a long way. Good luck on the build.
