sounds good and the e46 chassis is a timeless design. if it brings the shop more business then it was worth every penny.
The vehicle in the video is not a $50K build. He said that at $50K, it would be lower than what the first car cost because all the R&D and trial and error were performed on the first build. It would run one $50K, an S65 powertrain, an E46 M3 donor car, and 6-8 months now. There is no telling how much it cost, and how long it took, for the first car to be built. He did mention that they were incredibly patient during the process...
