There is no way that is enough tire. My mcoupe can hardly put down 240hp with 255's in the rear, let alone putting down 333 with 215's (front are 205 I can see in the pic). It's amazing but I bet traction is pretty limited.
This is an S54 E30. [pic heavy, phones users beware]

He said traction wasn't an issue at all with his new tires, but was running a lower ratio diff. Just swapped in a 3.73 right before the shoot and he could break them loose then.Comment

215 will work ok in the dry but it means you cant really use that power properly when you want to go hard. It mean in the corners the car will be un-settled and nervous.
Still mad respect for the build its done very cleanly. Oh and nice photos for the guy that took em.Comment

I'll chime in on some of the details (and no it's not mine)
I can attest to the quality of the workmanship of the owner/builder of this vehicle and to the fact that he is a great guy, I am the current owner of his previous project, a beautifully sorted 1989 euro E34 M5:
From the little I know, the S54 project's main headaches had to do with the wiring. Basically the car was rewired one strand at a time.Comment

best E30 ever. makes mine look like some watson shit.Originally posted by HollandThere should be a restraining order to keep kids 100 feet from that car at all times. Plus execution on the sight to anyone who places a shopping cart within 200 feet of the thing.Comment
