PERFECTION: 9000RPM BMW E30 M3! F20C Honda S2000 Swap !! // Nürburgring

[@JC7119]

I love how this kept the original spirit of the car. You see so many people swapping heavy motors into them and that puts so much weight on the nose. Setup's like this to me are the definition of perfection.

[@SuperBubba01]

That's why this swap is "okay". Of course, you can do WTF you want with your car, but this is legit. :)

[@DaEVOthefreak]

you nailed it! I confronted Misha every time if he drives a Swap with more than 4Bangers and if it is not NA. This car need a QBE89E Transmission. The gearing isnt ideal for that very little Powerband.

[@JC7119]

@@DaEVOthefreak on an AP1 engine I will always say the best trans F20C is the AP2 transmission. It tightens the gears up slightly, but just get rid of those "dead spots" when on track. Any changes after that can be handled by a final drive.

[@coolguy_2997]

But I’ve seen a couple of e30 M3s with the S85 V10 swap and on a stick:) I’d love to see Misha pushing them too

[@DaEVOthefreak]

@@coolguy_2997 yes... And i wrote, not another useless Swap!

[@isdos]

For sure one of the coolest builds of recent years. Absolutely love the semi-sleeper nature of that car, no fancy splitters or anything and plain white color.

[@lukasadamson6091]

I mean... When I see an E30 I expect it to either be fast or really fast. But I don't expect it to scream and turn like a k20 (yes I know it's not) swaped civic. That's what this car is to me. Pure emotion as Misha said. Or as I would say: the best out of all worlds combined. The looks of an icon and one of the most emotional power plants plus the perfect weight distribution.... Jesus this thing is *chefs kiss*

[@superliegebeest544]

Who calls an m3 a semi sleeper? That original 4cyl m3 awake and hy on pcp. If u go mental on it. And u need to know how to drive also.

I was 50/50 at the beginning, but respect to the owner. He hit the ball out of the park with this mod. Congratulations, mate 👌🛠🔧👏

[@timmi7624]

Fully agree 👍

[@briskxd1093]

F20C is a good motor to swap in any light way older bmw tbh engine revs to 9000 makes 240hp out the box NA and the engine is light so you get to keep the cars good weight distribution from factory.

[@TheodorBass]

Just listen - no one dares to talk, both are catching those moments. That speaks for itself. 👌

[@EstebanCOrtiz]

Owner face satisfaction is priceless 🎉💪😎 Great performance. Beautiful car and swap!

[@sharedknowledge6640]

Owner satisfaction is priceless. The Honda K20 is a MUCH better engine than the BMW S14 it replaced here. The German’s couldn’t match the K20 for horsepower per liter in any NA German car. Not even Porsches. The whole “superior German engineering” thing is just marketing hype and wishful thinking from German car owners. A stock S2000 would beat this Frankenstein E30 around the Ring.

[@ilandman4evr]

Hearing that motor @9000rpms is heavenly no matter how fast it's going. This is the perfect vid to show anyone that wants to talk about EVs and how fast they are bluh bluh. EVs will never replace a combustion engines in our souls when it comes to the noise a motor like this makes. This car is a masterpiece imo.

I think, somehow, he speaks to the listeners. In my early 20s I've thought about that so much while driving my Yaris, Colt, Ibiza... Arriving to 180 and looking for the 6th but it was never there. (I cannot even imagine how people use to do with 4 gear engines like the Golf II)

Not exactly apples to apples but this is the final confirmation I needed to K20 swap my peasant base model E30 325i instead of slapping a turbo on it.

I LOVE these kinds of „Project Cars“ 👏👍 The owner thought outside the box, I assume he had a crazy idea and went for it 😉 Like we saw in this video: It works! 👏 Must be a great car to drive. Personally I would put a tiny bit more power into the engine/car, maybe a small turbo or supercharger, but definitely NOT to get these crazy high numbers (which the car obviously doesn’t need), just a bit more power in the lower revs/speeds… But regardless: I really think the owner nailed it with that car, and again as we saw, Misha had a blast driving it 🙏 Thx to @MishaCharuodin and the owner for that awesome lap, and best wishes from Bavaria, Philipp 👋

@@DaEVOthefreak That‘s why I only would it boost a tiny bit. But nowadays a stock E30 M3 is slow, sadly!

[@lupo5184]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@millll111lllI I clocked the 80-120 km/h time in the video: 4,5 secs. BMW rated the original M3 with 5,6 secs. If we took into account the 200kg loss of weight, I guess we’d come to fairly similar numbers. The S 2000 had 208Nm/177kw vs. 230Nm/143kw in the M3. Along with the six-speed gearbox this is not a downgrade, it’s just a change in philosophy.

[@millll111lllI]

@lupo5184 So it now has less power and far less torque than a 2.5L M3, no ITB, and the value is considerably lower. @alpe6228 calls this "much better than the original engine for sure."

*Beautiful. Personally I think 240'ish bhp is just about ideal for the chassis and certainly enough to be quick and fun. I modified my OE engine (s14/2.3) with Schrick cams, carbon airbox and standalone ecu to get that same sort of power, but limited revs to 8.5k for longevity. I stuck with the OE dogleg box so only 5 speed but with Samsona shifter. Sadly poor health forced me to sell my E30 M3 but it remains the most fun car I ever owned and I still miss it today.*

It’s one thing to build a sick car, it’s another to have it finished so well with lovely stitching! MAGNIFICENT ❤

Wow that thing moves especially on the down hill sections! This really shows how the driver makes the car and not the other way around. You passed much much faster cars like nothing ! Awesome car and awesome driving.
