Whose red e30

[David325is]

I stumbled across this today. http://www.ponnysajten.eskimo.se/fotoalbum/filmer.html
The car in question is in the first few thumbnails. It has a turbo and likes to smoke tires. Looks like a nice car. I thought someone here would know who it is.


edit: sorry my mistake.

A Turbo S14? because the 10.5:1 compression wasn't enough...

I bet that engine lasts like 3 months.

That is NOT an M3...
its a 325 with E36 M3 side skirts, a glass sunroof and other goodies... so I would highly doubt that its an S14...

I kinda noticed it didnt look like a M3...its pretty sick nevertheless.

Yeah, now that I actually watch the video...

If it's not an M3 then it at least has e30 M3 rear window and trunk lid....I kinda like it.

It's this guys car...




I guess it's time to play "name that motor"

How on earth... is that possible? I mean it looks so much like an m3 without the wider fenders. Is it even possible to put that many m3 pieces on a non M car? it has the 5 lug hubs, the rear trunk lid, evo bumpers, and shaves side trim. The car actually looks good save the mirrors, and a few other do-dads that can take a hike like the huge side skirts.

That motor seems a bit too ricey for me though. Does anyone know what it is? The engine bay is CLEAN regardless. I bet its fun to drive, but id rather have s14 or s50 powering that car.

The "rear window" part - from the back of the roof down to the trunk can be put on a non M car...but you've got to cut your roof up frist - I imangine any bodshop that does accident repairs could do it.

I bet someone bough a wrecked m3 and a wrecked e30 and the two together had some mutant child....

I'm not hating the M3 rear on a stantard e30 as much as I though - maby it has something to do with it being red....

The front part looks like a heavily modifed Rieger GTS front end.

Thats true.. also note the profoundly wider fender openings... Someone must have done a lot of body work to the car. Looking at the engine bay and the door jam on one of the pictures makes the body look like its a fiberglass mold. I still think the body is hot non the less.
