My E30 M3........S63

[warsteiner///M3]

well, i thought i'd try and put up a thread, for my project car.

i've done a few build threads on a few other forums, for other cars i've built, but not done one on pistonheads,
so i thought i'd do one here....and see how it goes... :-)

i bought the car from a fellow pistonheader. it had had a bump in its past, and had been part repaired.
as with the last e30 m3 i had, i'll be letting a friend of mine do the bodywork...not really my forte.

a few pics from when i went to view the car...







getting delivered......







at its new home.....









so then, after another road trip, i went to view this engine, again from another pistonheader.
a couple of pics of it in its 'natural' home...













a few pics from yesterday, while picking it up...













some other parts i need to get it running..



and then a few pics from today...
taking a few parts off it to reduce the 'bulk' of it...





gearbox removed, along with both cats..





subframe removed..

Sorry, but i think that's way too much engine for an e30. I'd build something a LOT slower but a lot nicer to drive..... But then again, it's your project, so go for it! ;-)

In for this! Will be a rocket ship!

Are you the chap who built V10 NOW, the e46 M3 V10 that was recently for sale?

I was reading your build thread yesterday

[littlebasher]

I didn't realise the turbos lived between the cylinders on those

The heat in there must be volcanic!

yes, that was mine. also built an e30 m3 with a v10 before that, and an e30 m3 with an s62 before that...

Top man - looking forward to seeing one of your build threads on here

Dammit, always the way!

I assume you are going to run this on an aftermarket management system? Modern ECU's need most of the donor cars electrical system to be happy.
