DUDE, that thing looks and sounds amazing! Gotta take a trip upstate someday when my E30 is done to see it in person.

Ive been a real fan of your work for years. Not only for your rides but your value to the community. Bravo! :up:

his M6X writeup is phenomenal. attention to detail, complete OEM approach to things. everything works in Frank's swaps.

CONGRATS Frank

I'm a fan....and that motor in an E30 must make that car move out with a purpose!

More vids of this beast would be awesome.

+1. Epic build! One of my dream swaps. (An S62 E30 and an S85 E46 M3).

Well done!

Sorry to revive a long dead thread... blame it on the fact that i am brand spankin new around here (very first post: Hi All).

But i had to share with you what i found: something that is very much Alive, and which i believe belong or belonged to you:

















Just to explain:

I was driving my wife home and in the corner of my eye, i see one of these little cars that i love so much: an E30.

As i got closer i immediately see the 350i !!!!

Did i see this right ?? Or is it the fact that i just saw my second child through the echography that is playing tricks ? It's way too early for Halloween...

Could this be a sign that we are getting a Boy ? ( i disgress )

Told my wife, i am sorry i gotta stop and get out to take a closer look.
If i was alone driving, i think i would have tried waiting for the owner.

What is this car doing way out in the west coast ???

Anyways, i hope i get to see this car again (Car & Coffee) ??!
i would love to chitchat with the driver/(New Owner) ?

Thanks.

His name is Frank, he was a local to me on the East Coast but his work paid to move him to a new job in Cali. Long story short: He picked his whole life up and moved to your area. He is one of the nicest, most genuine guys I have ever met, his wiring knowledge is insane and he has a huge passion for BMW and e30s. I am proud to call him a friend and to have been involved with both v8 swaps and take this photoshoot for him.

Saw it in person at gfest 14'. Sweet ride Frank.

Hey thanks for reaching out. That is my E30. I built it on my own and still own it. I am in Huntington Beach, CA temporarily on work, hence keeping the NY plates.

I am around most weekends, so if you are interested in meeting up or know a good cars/coffee, let me know and we can chill!
