[@charliemoy2995]

Don’t get me wrong, this build is absolutely incredible, but would it not have been better to have done it to a normal e30 as opposed to a highly valuable M3? That aside I can’t fault it, absolutely stunning.

[@irifyan4643]

It's a very good question it's better to take a simple 316 e30 for a project like that. They killed a M3 for nothing

[@Ardonn]

@@irifyan4643 Who cares. The M3's are way overpriced as it is. Might aswell make it a better car

[@jamesborek8125]

I tend to agree, but if they're willing to foot that bill. Personally I'd have preferred analog tach and speedo too.. just something about watching those gauges climb as the engine(especially that engine) sings it's song..

[@lewiscollins1045]

@@Ardonn With how much of the M3 is actually left, it would have made more sense, to start with a lesser model..

[@mugyouoff]

Ruined an m3. 318 shell would have done.

[@noahheadley1337]

This is a great example of a proper engine swap, engine and chasis are designed together, you can't take any engine and put it in any car and end up with a good preforming car, it's a lot more work than people think. Edit: Additionally, yes it does seem pointless to tear apart an m3 chasis when ultimitley with all the work they did, it woulda been the same with even a 318

[@dokterkarel]

Some people strip their entire car to it's naked chassis, but this dude even tore apart half his chassis to rebuilt it. How much time did this project take? I bet more than 2 days ... :D Btw, 1 word: respect!

[@jackdoe3889]

Stunning level of skill involved in this and those who complain about a M3 being used probably never had one. If you did you would know the S14 was crap. Had over 40 of them incl Evo 1 & 2 and back in late 90s swapped several S38 into them. It had the balance and looks but never the go. Did a few with S52 and that was the sweet spot. The S85 is the best M engine and I would squeeze it into any BMW possible if I was still doing that. This car is how it should be done when money is no object. Kudos to all involved.

[@gediminasbielskis8346]

Oh my god! I can’t describe satisfaction that occurred looking at this masterpiece of craftsmanship!

I love the whole “oops I bought two v10’s because I decided I needed the dinan

[@davidBarrel]

[@MONabas1988]

It pains me to see this beautiful, rare, iconic car being axed and cut to leave nothing original about it!! ... I don't see any sense in doing this other than it's an M3 and after all of this work is still an M3 because it still has the M3 VIN.. I would do all of this work to a normal e30 coupe and yet save the original one to then pass it to my children.. None the less, this final piece of car is amazing.

[@samdommarie]

You're right 100 %

[@JuanDiegoArrieta]

Agreeeeee!!!!

[@2turbo4u]

By doing this build they took another original M3 out of the mix. Therefore make the value of the originals left worth more.

[@TheCrunchyshrimpy]

I have to say, I rather see restoring these, than tuning. But this build was so clean and well organized from begin to end. Those fabricated parts was awesome. Its really making sense. The whole car comes just beautiful with spirit of vintage M3.

[@aegenov]

I'm not a purist, but to destroy this M3 is ridiculous. Just get some coupe in good condition for God sake.

[@TheKingduffy138]

HAHA!!!!

[@Boris_V]

I couldn't agree more, this is beyond stupid. Apart from the whole purist part (which I'm not either), this is just a MASSIVE waste of money.

[@yofatmama2003]

YOU ARE DUM DA DUM DUM OR HAVE NO STATE TO STATE TRAVEL. Bro they are not that rare. U SOUND LIKE THIS BUILD IS NOT 10 TIMES BETTER, AND PROFESSIONALLY PUT TOGETHER BY A PROFESSIONAL LIKE AT THE FACTORY IN GERMANY

[@Boris_V]

First of all buddy, don't go around calling people dumb whilst talking like a fucking cartoon. Second, no, an M3 might not be very rare, but a good one is still worth 50 to 60k. Whilst you can pick up a simple 316i for a 1000. There was no reason to use an M3 for this project whatsoever. Other than the shell, which they then heavily modified they didn't use any of the M3 parts. For the amount they modified the shell they might as well have used a 316 and made it look like an M3, it wouldn't have been that much more work. I'm guessing this project cost them around 200k. Well that could've been 150k, if they didn't ruin an M3 for it. Third, no this is not how they would do it in the factory in Germany. They way they put in the suspension might be very nicely done. But I'm pretty sure they didn't do any proper measurements or strength calculations on that. And whilst I'm pretty sure this is strong enough and the car will handle fine, in the factory in Germany they could've done it better.

[@ricomedeiros9504]

Was it yours? Oh wait... no. I bet you are one of those that get mad when an old lady drives a M3 lol

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

The fabrication on that car is insane

[@Fee.1]

Do you know the shop that did it ?

[@ClaireAndConnor]

That's Piper Motorsports. Located in northern Virginia. Funny story. Several years ago, I needed a cage built for a Nissan Sentra SE-R road race car. I towed my Nissan about 3.5 hours to that shop. It was stripped down to a rolling shell. It was a little beat up when I bought it and I have to tell you..... my car looked way out of place to the GT3's, Vettes, M3's and other incredible hardware that they were working on. But that ended up being a good thing. I was told on the phone before they saw my car that they would have my cage done in 3-4 weeks. But after it got there, they called me back in about 4 days saying that they were done. I can only imagine that they wanted my POS out of there ASAP. LOL!

[@ibrahimmazen4126]

One of best cars bmw ever made+ the most beautiful engine sound bmw ever made = Perfection.

@@Spaz12isHipAimedFagg why that, it's true. they could have just taken a normal e 30

[@sasalolic999]

While i agree that ruining an M3 for a project like this is stupid, the weight distribution is nowhere near being that bad. The chassis came with m20 engines which are only 65 kg lighter than an s85 because m20 is an iron block engine. Also the m20 is longer (6 cyl long) so even though the s85 is heavier(5 cyl long), its closer to the center of the car due to it's V design.

Sasa Lolic the e30 M3 used the s14 which is a 4 cylinder.....

Great Job. The care put in every detail si far away from my expectations of US quality. This is a 100% top quality job from this video. One of the best engines BMW has ever made, one of the most fascinating BMW car, the best color in the world (spark metallic silver/grey) and best of all, not a track day car. An everyday driver with proper interior, custom roll-bar integrated in the chassis. Absolutely great. Good job. I guess a 150K dollars have gone, without the car, obviously.

[@tN_Disparity]

Everyone in the comments are acting like they own the car. It's still an M3....a very fast M3

[@crodrc51able]

Awesome build but why a stroker instead of overbore? I would think with the stroker that piston speeds increase calling for a reduction in rpm limit. Yes, more torque definitely but with an overbore you get to keep the higher rpm’s which is where V10’s and V12’s are really appreciated. And you get more hp.

[@edwardfairbanks5758]

Even though this build is absolutely awesome, I still wish that you would have started with either a 318 or 325 instead of using the M3. Either way... it turned out awesome.

[@jameswilson8820]

Amazing fabrication

[@Snarge22]

Mighty impressive cost is no object build. The fabrication, execution, and craftwork of this project was like a work of art in progress. I'm sure it's a fun track car although I'd be concerned about excessive nose heaviness. I'd say there will always be more power than the rear tires can use as the car can likely break traction in 5th gear (at 100+mph!). I've been thinking more regarding light weight. The E30 and E30M3 are nice "compact" cars creating a great start for a light weight project. Were the M3 hoods and trunk lids already carbon fiber? If not they need to be. Go for CF front fenders. Same for the sun roof if the car has one. Forget the heavy V10, heck, forget the I-6s with their heavy cast iron blocks. Simply go with a turbo on that M3 engine. But what about a modern direct fuel injected all aluminum V6? Blasphemy? Yes. But then one keeps the weight down, the mass back away from the front wheel line, retains a nice level of smoothness, and if one could fit a dry sump could even lower the block further into the chassis. Brakes? Source carbon ceramic rotors and machine to fit. Attach with aluminum hats. That will save a good 8 lbs per corner of unsprung and lower rotating inertia mass. Light weight calipers for sure, but on a light car they don't have to be huge (more weight savings). Stay with the theme and install very light weight forged wheels. Let's not leave the corners yet. Go with titanium springs. Carbon Fiber drive shaft? Yes. Anyone see that Alfaholics GTV? Alfaholics is supplying CF doors! Anything like that available available in the BMW after market? That would be a nice additional reduction in weight. Lithium/Ion/Phosphate battery? I think they are mature enough now. That's a big reduction in battery weight, plus when located in the engine bay will save on a long heavy gauge battery cable. Oh yeah, titanium exhaust from the headers to the rear tip. I don't know enough about these cars, but wonder if the front sway bar can go hollow? And of course, CF seats. But keep an interior so the car can be enjoyed more than just on a race track. Heck, with that much weight reduction I'm thinking the stock E30M3 4cyl is plenty good enough. Any thoughts E30 enthusiasts?

[@rafaellastracom6411]

Sweet Lord! Incredible!

[@thecaptain5026]

Great build and craftmanship. But I prefer the stock engine ;)

[@napoliansolo7865]

Stunning Car!! Since you took everything that made it an M3 off and replaced it, couldn't you've just used a regular e30 and got the same thing? (By the way, my dream car is a Mustang fastback with the M3 engine and running gear. Seems like you had a Mustang there....)

Nice work but why not take the shell of a 325 or 320 which are much more commun ?
