haha 3 pictures and thats it, kind of stupid in my opinion, since looks are not exactly what that car is about

[bimmer8604]

there are more pics on his other website(page 3 i belive), along with his 5er.

I think it looks like crap. Look at the fitment of the front bumper, and the crappy job on his passenger side decals. His hood is also put of adjustment, and gotta love the fart can!

Is it me, or does that car's suspension look really high?

[M3 Ryan]

holy crap... thats one powerful M30!! I can't wait until I do that to my 5er... I will just install a copper headgasket to lower the compression from 10:1 down to 8:1 and boost that biotch. 8)

I don't think that looks mean much in the overall package of this car. He is having a good time, building some incredibly fast BMW's, and destroying the most serious of straight-line performers.

Both of his cars (E30 M3 and E34 535i) have built-BUILT M30's putting 600 to the wheels. That's a little over 700 horses at the crankshaft.

IMO, fuck the fitment of the front bumper. Even the driver's with the fastest cars on this board would be lucky to see his rear bumper. ;)

That's all there is to it.

Those are good points, I guess.

I remember when you first got that car....your "daily driver". You just gonna drive around that 5-er to "save" your E30 M3.

Oh well!

[randomtask37]

damn, that thing is bad as hell. and his 5er is also amazing. and his alpinia 5... damn

someday i hope i have as many nice bimmers as him

Interesting car. The problem is the crappy writeup. Youd think as big as the site is they could have taken 5 minutes to have an article made instead of just posting 3 small pics and then waiting a page and a half for the owner to post a link to his crappy cardomain site. They coulda saved a lot of time and just said "see cardomain" or at least hosted some better quality pics.

The M30 turbo in the M3 is kinda cool I guess. How much does that powerplant weigh? Also the bumper and stickers piss me off. Yeah the car is supposed to be "for race" but if he isnt going to take the effort to put them on right why put them on at all? Its not like a Dekra sticker is going to give you better grip.

[bimmerphile]

Ryan: Stock M30 weighs in at around 315lbs, add a bunch of turbo whatnot, figure 375lbs total, an addition of about 150lbs in the front over the S14

It's worth it :twisted:

[Digitalwave]

I have seen both cars in person, and looks definately aren't what Pat is out for. The stickers on the M3 are all bubbly and peeling up with wax residue all over them. The interior is gutted and the dash has at least 10 cracks in it. Even the turbo manifolds and turbos are rusted. The E34 has a black primer hood and black primer Alpina bumper. But freakin' a do those beasts move. And Pat is an awesome guy to boot.

[Bavarian3]

I too agree with Tj. Pat is very friendly and loves his turbos. When buying my alpineweiss from him, he took me for spin in that car, and let me say it has huge balls. We hit 120mph in under 3 seconds. It is fast. Scary fast in a M3 that weighs not a lot. The exterior everyone has to gripe about it but its his car and that is what he wanted. It's more all go than all show...
