    If by cool you mean "painfully ugly" I would have to agree with you.

      I don't think it's ugly.. and think about how much more aerodynamic it is, which is probably the E30's weakest point. It's just wierd seeing an E30 in such different skin, I almost didn't recognize what it was until I saw the doors and mirrors. :)

        It looks like a 80's Nissan or other comparable car of poor styling.

        Looks like a hell of alot of fabrication work went into that car, I can respect that, but the end result is horrible looking.

          Much my thoughts. I for some reason was thinking mazda....But whatever, stupid Japanese pop-up headlights on a E30?

          And WTF is up if the trunk/rear window? ......

              Not sure if anyone noticed but its running an M30 conversion too. Based on the engine and body, not sure I'd call it an e30, actually, not sure I'd even call it a BMW....maybe a riceMW

                  If I would have dumped all the $$$$ into that car to make it look "cool" and it ended up looking like that...

                    If the e30 isnt very aerodynamic, you can automatically assume that you should be exploring this car in ways other than top speed runs, like turns :twisted:

                        wow, he even made it into a hatchback...

                        i think the result would have been better if he had shortened the trunk and curved the rear hatch glass into the tail end, a la 944/rx7 (and let's not forget that the japanese might not have adopted pop-up headlights, had porsche not used them with such success on the 924). already bit the front end off one of those cars, might as well do the rest too...

                        but... seeing as the magazine cover says 1985, the popups-and-protractor-lines styling was probably considered "edgy" at the time...

                            peeps.....this may be ugly but its a very rare car.

                            the cars called a vestac magnum and was one of only a few made.

                            vestac was a coachbuilder and was subcontracted to hartge in the 80"s. and yes the car was fitted with a standard m30 3.5, although there was the option of the hartge tunning to bring the power up to 250bhp.

                            m3 suspension was also used in the conversion.

                            the front end may be ugly but it alowed to car to reach 160mph. the lights are straight from a porche 924. :D

                            to buy this car back in 1986 would have cost $70000 thats right seventy thou!

                            no wonder they hardly sold any! :?
