      I feel sad for that former E30 M3.

        In a straight line, yeah, but that's a lot of extra weight over the front axle vs. an S14 (and that's coming from an M50 E30 owner). Weight distribution is not necessarily as big a deal as everyone makes it out to be, but it does matter.

            Can't say this is the worst i've seen... a while ago there was some idiot who swapped an M30 into an E30 M3 on bf.c. It was a sad day in my pants.

            IMO the E30 M3 needs an S38, after all its just an S14 with two more cylinders.

                  Somebody save this one! Most of it looks doable as a project.

                  Exactly... that's the approach I've taken with mine. It's dirty right now because I'm driving it!

                    The more I look at this fustercluck, the faster I would run away from it.

                      Local here in Winnipeg somebody sold a real M3 with a 318 M10 in it! I will see if I can find the link, it was terrible!
