      I'm assuming from the User name this is Jiten - nice work man.

      Though, I'm surprised you didn't try to recreate a 333i... :)

        its a budget build 2.9L. im not too sure whats the power output yet. i have no driven it yet.
        covers are not 3d printed, i just made a silicone mold and poured resin,
        my badges were a mission to make because i had nothing to copy. i sourced dimensions and cut them out of aluminum

        It's a photobucket embed fix extension for Chrome.

        I believe Firefox makes one as well.

                        some updates:

                        first start up:





                        the exhaust needed to be welded around the center box.

                        sound clip after welding the exhaust:



                        first drive:





                        i still have a lot of work to do:

                        exhaust
                        side shafts
                        new bonnet
                        refurbish my wheels
                        get my headlight wipers to work.

                            it looks like it is an Alpina style hemi thats how they did it in the 80's but it might be an optical illusion due to the angle of photo, there are good reasons why you dont see hemi from the factory anymore from Chrysler or anyone else in anycase.

                              some pictures taken about a month ago:






                              i made these to fund a few items that i needed:





                              side note- if these ever get tangled, you will not be able to use the modern day pencil to fix it. it doesn't fit!

                                Jiten - what's the info on that 333i?

                                You can PM me if you want, but I wanted to update my Alpina E30 database with the serial, owner..etc.
