The World's First Two-Door E30 M3 Wagon with V8 Power! Griot's Garage Detail Wagen

[@R-Tap]

The Shooting Brake is one of the most beautiful body shapes, and rare.

[@mattmiller1585]

totally!! I think there are only 5 models ever produced by a manufacturer in all of automotive history.

[@stigsmcqueen3178]

Love the production values on this video, and would love to see more Griot's Motors content on this channel. Many thanks for sharing this with us. :)

[@GriotsGarage]

Thank you, we're planning more of these!

[@klasseact6663]

Now that I know there's a Griot's Motors I wanna see anything and everything! Richard has great taste and whether it's his own, something from a family member or even a friend, I'll consume those videos❗

[@grafire80]

i like the look of the "Wagon" so much - its nice to see also E30-lovers ;D

[@rcrevolution]

Wow! BMW can learn a thing or two from this build! You guys nailed it, well done

[@RachelDrivesCleanCars]

I love seeing all of the Tacoma (and south King County) locations. Great job Forrest, Bunker, and everyone else. Good video :)

Thanks Joel, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! We're incredibly proud of the end result and love how much you guys love it too.

Why is it virtually all SEMA builds seem to be built with an almost impossible deadline to meet?!

[@GriotsGarage]

That's a great question! Haha

[@houseofno]

Next on Unsolved Mysteries - why is the SEMA show always the NEXT DAY? LOL. Fantastic job on the wagon! Truly one of the most unique and tasteful resto-mods I have seen in a long time, and I happen to be a card-carrying BMW CCA BMW car owner. Two thumbs up on this one. This is a car I wouldn't mind at all seeing get imitated (but never duplicated) elsewhere!

[@SeventyRS]

Hands down the coolest touring e30 to date.

[@GriotsGarage]

Thank you!

[@Mclovin2469]

Absolutely gorgeous build, I just bought a Hot wheels scale model of this car! An e30 2 door M3 wagon. I'm pretty sure the designers at hot wheels were inspired by your build.

[@GriotsGarage]

Great minds think alike ;)

[@henrikhustoft6645]

it would have been way cooler to delete the c pillar and make 2 long rear windows

[@Sk8boySven]

There is a guy in Germany building it exactly that way :)

[@jng8475]

Agree... that would be awesome

[@richiesworld1]

Naaaaah

[@th3b0untyhunter]

Would look odd

[@timburton1080]

Yeah indeed, just doesn't work for me currently.

[@broskimedula5300]

Everything about this car I like... Wagon - check Unique build - check 80s-90s box arches - check restomod - check two-door conversion - check I like that you got bigger front doors. I've seen many custom jobs where a four door had been converted to two door without pushing back the b pillar, which makes the short front doors look odd.

[@GriotsGarage]

Thanks for the love!

[@davespooney8472]

Does it use the V8’s steering box?

[@Andrew4181975]

That is a helluva impressive build. That had better be a BMW V8 in it. I didn't even know Performance BMW still existed,who buys car magazines anymore?

[@GriotsGarage]

Thank you! And you know we couldn't put anything but a BMW motor in it! It has a M60 under the hood.

[@tomaszek8888]

So you have made the movie about 8 cylinder motor and I can't hear the pure sound of the engine?? 🙃

[@seansverige]

I _do_ like it but... *"full M3 wagon"* how exactly - because of some bodywork (yeah, 'cos that's all they changed)? Does it have M3 suspension, brakes (both different to regular E30)? Any part of the drivetrain - certainly not the engine: _which_ V8 - is it even a BMW, let alone a (later) M? For something called the detail wagen, you don't seem to go into any...

[@SteezyG]

Yeah I agree. It's a modified E30 wagon that has SOME M3 parts. Full M3 wagon is so misleading.

[@seansverige]

@@SteezyG Don't get me wrong, this _is_ as cool AF (the two door estate is a body style sadly long since out of fashion) but can't believe the only M3 parts referenced (rear arches) were critical into making it the legend it is, so why go there? If you really must, call it an M3 tribute / homage / phantom

[@gergo_telekfi]

That's why I want to make an M3 sedan.

[@artpereira]

Looks great but is more of an M3 Style wagon with what looks like an LS motor?

[@GriotsGarage]

It’s a BMW M60 engine

They’re OEM BMW parts, anything that was still available new we purchased from BMW. A few parts that were no longer available were purchased used.

Custom cars are super cool, but I would be so afraid to drive it, because if someone hits the car you can't just replace the fender, you have to MAKE a new one
