Wildest BMW E30 Ever? Insane Sounding Render-to-Reality, V8 Swapped E30 BMW

In this render-era of car builds, one of the most familiar names comes up more and more often: Khyzyl Saleem. Khyzyl's E30 from SEMA last year really made an impression on people, especially the guys from Rebellion Forge Racing - who commissioned this wild wide body, 8-to-1 collector build. Which ended up being one of our favorite builds from all of SEMA 2019. Enjoy the sights (but especially the sounds) of this rowdy build.

@KhyzylSaleemArt you guys should have went with a T56 instead of a CD09, you can convert the T56 to a sequential with a conversion kit from S1 I think is the name of the company. Full performance of a sequential but in a normal T56. Check it out I think that would complete this car.

[@IShallNotFall]

Killer build by two extremely talented monotoned dudes

[@0megalul309]

they conserve the energy used in their voices to build cars.

[@maisumaqueda]

I was never a fan of ls swaps, what a way to change peoples minds! The sound of that thing is really one of a kind, plus that engine bay and those collectors are beautifully made

[@pat445]

2:02 The video sounds like it was taken in a spa. Very relaxing.

[@zacht9447]

Can we do less talking and more revving?

[@R55LSD]

1423 171 Exactly I’ve noticed this seems to be a trend on American car videos. Talk so much shit and next to nothing on the thing getting driven properly. When you see a shot in motion there’s either no sound and more voice over or some shit music. Some people just love the sound of their own voice I guess.

[@GetUpFalcon]

And they certainly don't have a way with words

[@tag206]

@@R55LSD I mean this channel is literally Larry looking at cars and talking to the creator, not really driving the car.

[@doctorgonzo2000]

I wanted to see it run. They succeeded in making a very monotonous, boring video with a spectacular car.

[@lukedanielgalon1596]

nm2255 and belgian motorsport can cover that.

[@trusted_traveler]

Wasn't this already a video, I swear I saw this prior to this one. Anywho, amazing design by Khyzyl Saleem and on point build.

[@elicarey421]

They did a video last year of a black e30 with the same kit. different car though.

[@dannyr3346]

They showed it at sema and the guys drooled over it for a good while lol.

[@Sharkuis]

Surprised they didn’t go over the cooling system.

[@kjam87gxp]

My thought as well. Would this not create serious cooling issues having hot ass tubes sournding the block.

[@XBullitt16X]

I can't believe thats an LS engine! It almost sounds like an high revving OHC V8 or evena different engine type entirely, this is first time I have ever heard an LS sound like that, like ever. Whoever designed those headers and exhaust system, did an insanely good job. It doesn't just look pretty, its sounds nasty too, no wonder this won an award at Sema. This coming from someone who normally hates on LS swaps, since they're a dime a dozen.

[@cartermackenzie1135]

I wanna do this to a car and put a sticker on that says “bring back the v12’s” just to troll people

[@CamPayneCam]

This E30 was so amazing to see in person and this video was so well done to provide the details we didn't get at Sema.

[@Michael-jq5pf]

Kyza is the f'ing man. Absolutely love seeing the creations he dreams up, it's honestly the only reason I have an Instagram anymore. Super awesome to see him receiving so much well-deserved praise.

[@THESLlCK]

the stuff he makes doesn't make sense. Look at that GTR in the beginning. It has a blower with a bug catcher but an intercooler that goes nowhere.

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

That definitely doesn't sound like an LS. I was always a fan of the 8 to 1 collector

[@nappy5853]

What engine is it

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

@@nappy5853 General Motors LS

[@jonnothetrucker]

It would be a 6ltr ls2

[@jaycevessier7554]

That's cause of the 180* 8 into 1 exhaust. Sounds like a fucking indy car lol

[@tracym427]

I figured they put a flat plane crank in it. Didn’t hear any mention of it tho

[@jryalls]

Love everything apart from the rear diffuser.

[@user-ni4bv8bk9c]

Insert Witty Name good thing it’s not your car💁‍♂️

[@petrolhead8851]

Insert Witty Name I thought the same thing

[@brandonovenephet4521]

it needs a new one that flows better with the body lol

[@petrolhead8851]

Brandon Ovenephet definitely! This diffuser throws off the rear end

[@verdeboyo]

Everything is 'extreme' 'OTT' So the diffuser looks just right on the back.

[@joshgray2024]

Crispiness...you know high compression small liter v12 sound. Sickmm

[@ironmanmiski1]

Chen doesn't do nearly enough scumbagging. Where's the burnout peer pressure

[@redlion145]

That's why he has the separate channel. Basically if it shows up on his Autofocus, it isn't doing a burnout or any scumbaggery. Needs to be on Bonus or Daily Transmission for proper fun. Not that I mind, sometimes I want more of a build biology type breakdown rather than a cloud of smoke.

[@sonwabile]

This is funny

[@ashleybunn7360]

Facts

[@barrybend7189]

Depends on the build. If its Scumbag proof and the owner is willing it will happen.

[@UncleManuel]

It's the 8-in-1 collector and a very light flywheel. This thing sounds like a gnarly racecar. Me likes a lot!

[@AngieMeadKing]

Amazing build!!!

[@tommihommi1]

Build Biology on the Road is back!

[@C-M-E]

Wildest E30 I've ever seen was a BMW V12 swap with twin turbo, which also was in a shade of green in I recall. This one looks the part and sounds waaaaay better imo.

[@brenden8783]

Khyzal is the biggest influencer in the game atm and with good reason all his designs are pure gold.

[@MrFuguDataScience]

The ending of the video deserved to be a full send into the distance! Larry, that would have been a good ending

[@the_nondrive_side]

Sounds like every MID ENGINED v8-v12 but not like an LS. Mad!!

[@aimDiego]

This should sit next to last year's white Firebird, you know which one I'm talking about.

[@BIGchrisJbitch84]

I loved that car!! Most beautiful firebird EVER, plus the guy built it under a shed and DIY'd the whole thing!! Will always remain my all time favorite sema car.

[@jackobtate1238]

Rob Dahms rx7 is definitely a contender I think as well. Only billet 4 rotor in the US

[@aimDiego]

@@jackobtate1238 well I was talking about the fact that Riley Stair's Firebird also has an insane exhaust design, but what the hell, Rob's engine bay will also look pretty amazing.

[@THESLlCK]

@@jackobtate1238 not true at all, there are plenty of billet 4 rotors

[@voodooinc7935]

Fuuuuking no way!!! That guys designs are legendary.. My past 4 laptops have all had his cars as screen savers! Literally sat for days saving wallpaper after wallpaper through deviant art. Max max meets street racer. Pretty much theee sickest cars I've ever seen. He should go back and do literally every car he's ever done for real. He would become far more better known if he did. That guy right there is a legend! Mouth watering designs. I want the 300E drift missile he did.. TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

[@blkcoupequattro]

We call it the 180' effect, similar to the GT40 exhaust, in my opinion both will produce about the same power, might be slightly higher TQ down lower with that exhaust set up like that. Most of your dune buggies that run Baja1000 desert runs ect use that exhaust set up...

[@jfb8067]

I realy enjoy AutoFocus. Mr. Chen's laid back attitude and genuine love for what he does shines through. Rock On Larry!

[@NickParkerPhoto]

"are center locks necessary? no. are they cool? absolutely..." my-man

[@robertgray9631]

Looks like you can fit a turbo in the front of that

[@LarryChenPhoto]

10/10 on the scumbagging.

[@midassandahl5076]

No thanks, would ruin the point of the headers

[@willbianco8931]

Not everything has to have a turbo on it

@@midassandahl5076 hush yo mouf

The winner of that distinction is the Folger body kits from the late 80s-early 90s but still pretty sick!

[@desiredfilm1071]

Not a huge fan of the rear but that front view is probably one of the coolest cars I’ve ever seen to date.

[@EMNemesis]

Loving his render artwork since 2015!

[@rytispaskevicius8660]

Very nice, but where’s the radiator? Oh, I see now. It is a very cool build👍👍👍

[@cloane85]

I didn't know this was my dream car before watching this. I love everything about this car, it's beautiful.

[@harrisonremedios8430]

It sounds like an LS at idle, a Mustang at neutral reving, and an Indy car at loaded reving

[@vincentfinkel4213]

One of the most beautiful Cars I`ve ever seen!!!

[@cartermackenzie1135]

I keep coming back to this just to hear that first exhaust rev

[@rjac001]

I guess the sound comes from the equal length headers, makes a huge difference !

[@rickarcher300]

Now is that sound basically from the 8 into 1. It doesn't look to much like 180 degree headers. I love how this thing sounds!

[@cjdavey4255]

"working at EA was great" My friend across the room: rough

[@zyphurite]

Technically he worked at Ghost for Need for Speed. He made the cover art for NFS Heat as well as designing the Polestar body kit and a few other kits.

[@keloduma]

The air intake is pinnacle engineering and innovation

[@generalee2010]

until they drive in the rain...

[@keloduma]

I'm sure they developed a drainage system And secondly why would drice with those tires in the rain?

[@PhamVans]

That crispness you're hearing is a healthy airflow out the header.

[@derekhansen6652]

Pretty sure khyzyl did the rendering of the 620 pick up, it has been the inspiration for my d21 hardbody build.

[@superrad1659]

One of the best looking modified e30's ive ever seen! certainly one of the best sounding as well! Everything about this car is beautiful

[@craiggallagher4461]

Need more audio of it actually accelerating in anger! :D

[@SeeWorldKevin]

That Mustang livery was pretty dope.

[@jace3842]

Currently Building an E36 LS swap and I love the way 180 exhausts sound. Just cant figure out how to build one, until now!

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

I don't think I've ever heard Larry so quiet and solemn. Not that theres anything wrong with that. It's almost like he has been humbled by this amazing car. Lol Amazing vid btw... again. Lol Keep em coming Larry! All your vids are always top notch. I wouldn't mind seeing them drive a lil more but thats not what your vids are about. Cheers!🍻

[@Asianevermore]

Best car doc on KZbin

[@kpraz]

Love the modular dash idea

[@danielsoriente2426]

For a car that revolves around having an 8 into 1, You did not much coverage on the actual sound it produces lol.. :/

[@powers9328]

It's not even built right it would actually sound good if the exhaust entered the collector in the proper order

[@natesmith9007]

you really cant appreciate an exhaust through a video and I've heard 8 to 1 collector cars sound so different in real life.

[@blakeworthen9880]

I'm so glad you got these guys on the show sir Larry, amazing car!!

[@henrydolan4109]

Super cool build. That exhaust is something else. Love everything but that front wheel fitment and the diffuser. The front wheels are sunk af and the rear diffuser looks like it was just tacked on the bottom of the fuel tank

Saw this build at SEMA it was SO SICK

Oh mi fucking lord. Those are the most beautiful builds ever. If I ever win the lottery, I'm dropping 250k to buy this. And the way you describe the exhaust noise is, a crack of a whip.
