Article from 1988 BMW M3 V10 project

Body was acid dipped to remove all paint and glue leaving us with a bare metal tub to work with. Unfortunately a poor job was done and will later be cleaned up.

All new parts arrived from BMW including all E90 (2007 3 series) subframes, suspension, rear end, Moton shocks and Brembo Gran Turismo big brake kit with 15" rotors. Last but not least the new M5 V10 engine power plant with transmission/differential and components.

Chassis build contd. Engine fitment

Once the motor was fitted and MORE measurements where taken the body was removed once again to remove the motor. The body was then placed back onto the chassis to weld in the permanent frame rails fabricated to fit the E90 sub-frames.

After word ..

thats pretty damn cool... but the black wheels are much nicer than the final ones! how much would such a project cost?

koreez88 · 08-30-2008, 05:26 AM

I don't like the looks of the car, but the engine is fantastic

evoi19 · 08-30-2008, 05:56 AM

good lord!!!!

ik999 · 08-30-2008, 06:04 AM

putting the V10 into that car doesn't make too much sense to me

the ideal engine for that car would be the euro e90 330i engine (268HP)

I think those were the original ones before the project started.

You dont like the look of e30 m3s?

nusevad · 08-30-2008, 10:46 AM

It makes me sad to think theres 1 less true e30 m3 left in the world.

+ 10000 that project has no sense.

oldaccount · 08-30-2008, 11:06 AM

i can't help but to agree with you when i first saw this, then at the same time i think it's gone for a good cost in some way..(even tho i think they probably could have done this job on a non-M3 e30)

Hoothout · 08-30-2008, 11:56 AM

thats pretty tight, it woulda been cooler if they would have just gotten a frame from the junkyard instead of ruining a perfectly fine m3

brianhn1 · 08-30-2008, 12:33 PM

The After pics are before the car was taken apart.

billspreston · 08-30-2008, 12:42 PM

What a tease. No final photos

It seems like these guys did top notch work.

amgthis · 08-30-2008, 02:09 PM

Thats not a V10 in the last pics...

OBI_agent · 08-30-2008, 02:50 PM
