Would buy it instantly if it were for sale for something reasonable.

Good.

Also remember reading about a similar job of almost the same car in Bimmer Magazine a couple years ago.

Isn't it true that because of the modern innards the Roundel needed to be removed because the car is no longer considered a BMW?

Very functional, but takes away the vintage. Very high quality work though.

That is awesome.. more pics !

nso98 · 02-15-2015, 08:15 AM

In short, this is bad ass!

MilehighM3 · 02-15-2015, 09:12 AM

Interesting build but not sure how I feel about it. As others have mentioned the stance is off and an M3 swap would've been a more fitting choice as a donor. Also that is not the factory Nav as they claim.

P1 · 02-15-2015, 09:26 AM

All that effort only to fit those silly wheels...

Jeff73 · 02-15-2015, 09:40 AM

No doubt, I would trade this for my F12 M6 convertible! It's unique and simple yet beautiful. The Engine is superb as well

BRILLIANT. I think the E9 is top 2 most beautiful cars BMW has ever made.

A///MG_Power · 02-15-2015, 11:47 AM

So awesome!

c63er · 02-15-2015, 11:58 AM

Doing this to a classic car is a crime.

With that said I would love to do something like this to a non classic, such as putting a z3 body onto an e90m3

SilentAttack · 02-15-2015, 01:08 PM

Bad ASS

vladberca · 02-15-2015, 04:17 PM

No longer a real classic, but I've seen also the old 300SL on newer Merc chassis.
The interior can be improved a little bit. I don't know how you register this car..

This remains my favorite resto mod, even if it makes no sense:
