I'm really glad you guys went back and properly sorted this car out! The original Activision vid felt rushed and tacky with all the "gadgets", but now the car looks mad!

[@felix-bk7ne]

The Activision ad 100% would have paid for the car to be finished. So a no-brainer really.

[@TurnStyleGames]

Yeah it was a let down on the first build - though we all realized what it was and why. Happy to see it get some proper attention. I hope they do a proper 16V Mk2 GTI some time.

[@haydenw8691]

So just like the game it was built for to promote, it was released unfinished and fixed later.

[@JohnA...]

Late 80s early 90s BMWs have such an iconic cool look. Its odd that that car has parts from car manufacturers all over the world, but its also interesting that it came out as a "worldly" car.

[@Phnergelde]

I'm an 80's kid. I have many fond memories of seeing these cars, I've always loved the shape. What you lads have done here is to me, probably the most wonderful thing you have ever done. It's absolutely gorgeous with the perfect donk to suit.

[@joshuagies4900]

Love the skids! Nothing like the feeling of having the rear end come out and catching it. Moog, you'll get it dialed man! Love the enthusiasm! With that much power and a short wheelbase, definitely a handful!

[@johnherbert5919]

This is the best looking MCM car, by far. Might be the quickest too........

[@MrLavahot]

I think the Cresta would smoke this.

[@DM-wp9vq]

The "Black-Chops" song still gives me goosebumps when you're showing that maaad mad car! It's just so new millennium 80's menacing & it's such a great setup so far. Great work guys!

[@LorchVHS]

Can't wait to see it with the cold air intake through the headlight hole.

Im so glad you guys really finished this car. I love BMWs, and i know people would pay an insane amount for this car (at least in the US right now lol)...

@@arcadiagreen150 sounds like a plan!!

[@xjoelportox]

you should open up a hidden air flow canal from the inside of the wheel arch, directly to the air intake. That way you don't destroy the appearance and get some proper air flow

[@shawngebo697]

Thats how you suck water into the intake

[@Stale_Mahoney]

[@Legrascestlavie88]

I used to have one of those.. Billstein b8 shocks, with h&r sway bars and springs do wonders to the handling

[@Flat8G]

Memories! My first car was a 318 E30 I got for about 1200 dollars/euros in awesome nick, even with no power it was super fun to drive!

[@lukashampel9846]

this is one nice E30... really appreciate it since E30s and E24s are my favorite cars ever. The chassis styling is just out of this world

[@PathosBedlam]

The car turned out great. Looks very nice cruising down the road. Thanks for the MCM Badges in my last package. Very Cool. I haven't gotten around to putting the Honda Poster in a frame as yet, but I'm sure it'll look sweet-as when I do. Looking forward to your next project. Moog definitely seems happy about it, which probably means some great music he will make for that build series. Keep Up The Great Work Boys.

From an old Haynes workshop manual to here! Great trip

“For some reason they have tons of parts for e30s and they’re cheap” I WISH!

[@daveyacarter]

You normally love turbo engines but I have to say that having been a convert to cubic inches NA, this is great to see how you have found this. Loved this series.

[@jessmad3824]

Y’all should have made a “H” pipe exhaust nested of blocking off the cut outs.

[@joealex65]

The exhaust ends on a single exit anyways, X and H pipes are cool for dual exhausts, won't change much with a single exhaust

[@jonasthemovie]

@@joealex65 Would still help with scavenging connecting that early, wouldn´t it?

[@jessmad3824]

@@joealex65 I think that car has a true duel exhaust. That’s the only reason why suggested it. At a minute 1:07 you can see the complete exhaust system

[@thedarkknight1971]

I miss my old grey E30 325i SE... she handled and went well enough (from factory was about 190Bhp - but i guess she had lost a little by time i got her), but even so, well built, balanced chassis/handling... Loved her.... Well... until a job came up i just couldn't afford to have repaired... a snapped cam belt whilst driving... Whish I had kept her and saved up... They fetch silly money here in he UK...

[@thebrojectlist6881]

Real nice to see that you guys have finally leveled up and got enough badges to unlock the euro-cars XD really love it!!

[@zeeent5463]

Hell yeah

[@BRETTYZCAR]

Marty, if you get stuck into the grille on the passenger side between the the bars you see half of it is blanked off. Drill and die grind out to get more air.

[@dragonsquad100]

yo just wanted to say your conematography is getting so dope :)

[@timlove5179]

Top tip for the car for skid pans and track days or just a skid with a friend put a set of windscreen wipes and wash controls on the passenger side so you can do skid with out worrying about your view 😂

[@nicolashoyt5341]

May want to check your math on the not any heavier part. Having weighed my BMW Iron Block M52B28 with a cast turbo manifold and the turbo and all the accessories coming in at 418 lbs, that's less than an LS without accessories and I had a good 50-70 lbs of extras on it.

[@oscarcharliezulu]

One of the best looking 3 series now with epic performance

[@theglitch_713]

Finger Guns at the end of the episode gave me Hope.

[@CastelThe1st]

I've always wanted to do a LS swap in my E30 but never did because cost. Ended up doing a M30B35 in mine for free by selling everything else off the donor car! Can't beat that!

One E30 that was near death has been recover and looks quite good ... more that good.😍

[@jamesmk1cos]

loved this one glad to see it finished up. please please don't use harnesses with a recliner seat its not designed for it. the rear straps put downward pressure on the seat and in turn in an impact can break the seat back and your back.

[@cflwhat]

Black chops needs more content, love this build!!

[@Sve3t]

If you want to know where your BMW is from check the fourth and fifth letters of your VIN ie WBA(xx) if its DE it will be Germany, yours might be SA though as that is around the time that most of the 3 series in RHD were made in South Africa. Fun fact WBA VINs are regular BMWs and WBS VINs are M division products (inc. 850csi)

[@Mindseas]

Show carpet or didn't happen! This has been a fascinating and new kind of content, love it, love you, thank you!

[@them0leisback]

Ah yes the scanner trick. Did the same on all of my bikes, except I scanned the part and then made the gasket. Works really well

I was a 17-year plumber and my boss used that e30 as a work car. But looked just like it, stealth. Loved riding around in it back in the days 2004. He was going to sell me it for £1700 but i bought a Fiat punto mk 1 in 2005. What a big mistake! 😢

[@AneleDMonqo]

I've been following the work you guys do, truly some inspirational stuff. You might get a kick out of watching South Africans spin the E30, a unique style of drifting. I'm very happy with the E30 mods, it's almost a perfect car. It would be nice if the new technology fitted in the interior such as the computer, was made to look more integrated with the design. A good example of the was when you guys fitted an iPad as on an old car as dash entertainment screen.

[@NonbiriGarage]

I miss seeing Benny and Al, hopefully we can see them soon!

[@y0ucantremember]

When ya'll said the wet ground seemed difficult to skid on, I noticed that too with my FRS. It almost felt like it slid better on the dry than the wet, and idk why tbh

Probably traction is not constant, that's why snapping occurs.

A lot of parts from America are cheaper, mostly because they have 10X the buying power of Ausland. If you can order something a month ahead of time, its worth checking what the American name of your vehicle is and have a search on eBay.
