    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say....I think the execution on that widebody kit looks amazing. I really wanted to do that to my car but I didn't have the guts to do it. Plus, I figured it would destroy resale value...


    I wish he'd take some camber out of those rear wheels though, that part is not appealing to me.

      100% agreed! If you add more power you’re going to need more tire...

        Well, it’s already at 20k - so, I guess we have no clue what we’re doing and our opinions are completely wrong.

        Maybe it's time to get off the E30 train. :(

          Well that last widebodied red E30M3 had cheerleaders too.
          Clown cars will always have followers, thats how thing like "stance" end up catching on.
          There are loads of people with questionable taste lol.
          The same way people buy neon colored clothes and buy Lil Wayne albums.

            Better off using that twenty K to make it rain at a Vegas strip club. Total waste.

              There’s a lot of cars under 20k that are better buys. Heck, 20k can buy you a lot of nice E30.

              Heck, the Vlad wagon is cheaper and I’d rather have that..

                Vlad himself has commented on the BaT auction

All the wannabes shouldvebes knowitall e30 experts should remember that in 8 plus years since this touring was built nobody built even anything remotely similar. Why? Because it is a monumental task, requiring skills, knowledge, parts, money, time and craftsmanship. There is just sooo much that goes into the build.

                And those questioning the quality, looks or design go read Performance BMW magazine, this touring had full feature in April 2013. I’m sure many of you had your BMWs featured in Performance BMW magazine, so you know what I’m talking about.

                Lastly, keep in mind, to build anything close to this would cost at least $40-$50k nowdays and at least a year of hassle.

                I’m sure many of you can build better e30 m3 touring, those who can’t – this is a great buy!

                  The Vlad wagon,,, very polarizing car, but I cant see any reason to not like that car. I've liked it since he built it.

                  The guy may have a very polarizing personality, done some things to friends, etc that were documented in many forums, but every one of his "cars" I have ever seen were top notch.

                  I instructed him at Pocono in that Warsteiner liveried swap e30m3 and it was very very nicely done. Car was fast and put together very well.
                  I went to his shop to buy some e30M3 parts from him, all the work I saw going on was very well done. It wasnt a chop shop.

                  I'd buy that touring in a minute for the money its sitting at right now.
                  I dont know what the car has traded at previously when its switched hands but I wouldnt be scared of that car for one second.
                  The molestered red car, not so much.
                  I wouldnt buy that car at 1/2 its current bid.
                  I wouldnt buy it period for any price.

                      To be honest, I bet whoever bid 20k and wants to win it that bad will end up putting a big SUPREME decal on the side of it.

                      Never underestimate the deepness of hype beast guys (parents) pockets.

                            Still think that had the S52 swap been done and everything else left as it was the car would sell for more...

                              No doubt it would have. Just look at the auction history - good clean swaps pull good dollars. Boy racer track toys have had a struggle at times. I’m guessing they are trying to do this only because the article in Performance BMW.
