Beautiful BMW...powered by USA! haha

wdeerfield · 11-12-2015, 09:22 AM

chevy engine, supra transmission, porsche brakes, custom rear.. its just an e30 shell at that point then. never the less, its pretty awesome and turns some heads.

EzequielR · 11-12-2015, 09:26 AM

Holy shit, I'm in love

Nomana · 11-12-2015, 09:26 AM

Love the interior, contemporary to me.

Alignment of camera on the hood lift up look great.

Performance? I bet you know much better than me.

Amazing, Period!

Diver · 11-12-2015, 10:22 AM

Sick. I used to ride a Kawasaki 750 two stroke. That was a widow maker. It didn't even have electric start and weighed about 400 pounds.

SMV_M4 · 11-12-2015, 10:30 AM

Looks like he tooks interior components and seats from an E9X with Fox Red leather.

Jadar · 11-12-2015, 11:31 AM

Very cool. I love the e30! If would do the build I'd put an N54 in it or if a v8 is a must, no either then the s65

Anyone else notice the hood was open the entire drive?

This. It's not a BMW anymore. He could have done the same but with any shell and it would still be as cool.

M3 Adjuster · 11-12-2015, 12:35 PM

Thank God this was done to an E30 and not an E30 M3!

ORIGIN M. · 11-12-2015, 01:17 PM

Absolutely correct.)

M.Etreby · 11-12-2015, 03:22 PM

beyond astonishing

gtron · 11-12-2015, 04:15 PM

nicely done. awesome project.

EL Jeffe 5 · 11-12-2015, 06:37 PM

Great work nicely done

One thing kind of rube me the wrong way he was talking about fuel efficiency.
Look here Guy nobody cares about fuel when it comes to custom work like this.
maybe you should go test drive Toyota Prius and Chevy Volt

For me this is art. Wow and congratulations man..

Now that's worth a front page article.

Alpine F31 · 11-18-2015, 02:21 PM

I love how he calls it a "360i". Years ago I wanted to put a 5.7 liter V8 in a standard E36 coupe. I was going to call it a "357i". I never converted a BMW, but I did put a 6.0 LS2 in my Subaru wagon. I call it, "LS2BARU"

I can't imagine 800 horsepower in an E30. I love it!
