    I think I posted my e30 hatch idea on here before but being in the architectural design field not knowing if you'll have a job the next day puts a serious dampener on car building ha! To start with, I am not trying to make a replica e30 M3, I just like the styling and I would never do what I'm doing with a true M3, unless maybe I located one wrecked in the rear -,-

    Just don't call it a TI or Escort RS Turbo...despite it looking like a combination of both lol! Yes, this is a photoshop. Yes, I'm building it. No, I don't have a timeline. Just one piece at a time...

    Wonder why bmw didnt do this. Cant wait to see it finshed. :up:

        If it works out the way it's shooped. It'll be fap bank material for sure. It'd be the only ti type thing I like.

            Very cool idea sir.

            My only criticism is that the proportions look all off in the photoshop. Almost just looks like an m3 that got smushed. I'm not sure how much fabrication you plan to do but I did a comparison if you were to keep the hatch look but shorten the wheelbase. If you were to pull out the bumper it would just look like a normal m3 so I moved the rear wheel to "balance," the car a little more. At least I think that looks better.

            You could alternatively keep the wheelbase and extend the hatch look but that would require changing the entire c-pillar and losing the "m3" look.
