    e30 Aussie Style

    Hey Guy's

    Thought I would post up some pictures of my ride. I'm sure some will love it and some will hate it.

    There is a link at the bottom of the post that has a short write up if you are interested in more details.

    very tastefully done on the body inside and out. You can never go worng with mtech. I however do not know enough to comment on the turbo nissan engine. You'll have to wait and see what others have to say, but as far as I am concerned looks great

                Looks great. That is a very clean swap. But why not just turbo charge an M20. Seems less labor intensive and you would've retained the BMW purity. :)

                  Factory turbo motor with all the appropriate components > hackjob homebuilt m20 turbo. It's also lighter.

                  Simple.

                        Why?

                        It's a non-M 3 series, BMW built like 800,000 of them. They're not exactly rare.

                            Was wondering the same thing, looks like somebody chopped up an M Tech II or something.

                              actually, there's well over 2 million of them. ;)

                              looks great! that's an interesting front spoiler.
