Video Series: E30 as fast as a modern G80 M3 CS?

[Northern]

My interpretation of the intent wasn't "get an e30 around the track the fastest", it was to backdate the intent of the CS to the M3 platform.
I think we went a little off the rails in some aspects in order to give the M3 a fighting chance, but he was pretty strict with some aspects (Control arms, tie rods, rack, geometry in general)

Ah cheers, I misinterpreted it. I skipped around and didn't give my 100% attention to the videos, which isn't fair but watching anything on the youtubes as of late is rare for me.

From the first video the "keep up with / beat the new car". I just figured if you're going to give it a fighting chance... aim high. I get there is always a budget too, but obviously there's always opinions.

Those other builds I linked I thought were on the level I kinda had hoped they'd set as the target. But I'm biased, because again, those are some of my faves of all time.

This isn't hating on or jealousy, I applaud the efforts and building each episode obviously we don't know where it will end up. Maybe this is only phase 1, and other phases will come later.

Maybe in the next episode we see it does what they set out to do, and it beats the new CS?

If you want a CS version of the E30 and you start with a e30 M3 to keep in the spirit of what BMW have done you would build a light weight e30 M3 with 2.7 stroker, fully built engine ( cams, ported head, carbon airbox etc). That would be actually interesting.
