This 1986 BMW E30 Coupe began life as a standard, six-cylinder model, but now sports a M60 V8 from a 1995 BMW 540i and a 6-speed manual transmission. Making 300 horsepower and 300 lb/ft, the V8 engine is enough to hot-rod up this E30 into a lively grand tourer with a cool soundtrack to match. The parts list is extensive so

The wheels are not from a E36 M3. Are from E46 with the M pack.

@ImOldGregg 6 жыл бұрын

André Ribeiro you're correct, but I know which wheels he has confused them with. They are relatively similar

@brettcastro97 6 жыл бұрын

Yup, the E36 wheels he confused them with are called Forged M Double Spokes. I know they came on the M3 lightweight and I guess as a wheel option for the regular M3.

@ChittysMusicGear 6 жыл бұрын

yup, I had them on my 2003 330i M sports package.

@bmos02 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, Matt was totally on point with that. So many e36s have them that the owner must have assumed they were meant for the car.

@ChittysMusicGear 6 жыл бұрын

yeah, 17" staggered. They weren't my fave, but they looked really cool when you get close, pretty deep looking. Definitely stock with that year's MSport package. I see them around town semi regularly.

I live here in N. Italy (I'm American) and I whole heartedly agree with you! I think the 2010 models were as future looking as they needed to go. The actual steel/chrome bumpers were nicely done and....RWD + manual transmission + driving skill=😃 Oh and the cops here in Italy have no radar in their cars....it's normal to drive 55mph in a 30mph or 95mph in a 75mph. I love these roads!!!

lol, well that's because a Rolex is a nicer watch. Think of it this way, he can go out there and say that the BRZ for example is a great little sports car for the money and an awesome buy, but if you have a 911 at home in the garage, what are you actually going to drive given the choice?

I have a V8 Swapped 1987 E30. Best thing I have ever done to my E30. It's a freaking rocket now. I basically did the same thing he did, with a M60B40 from a 1994 540I, Getreg 420g 6 speed out of a 2001 540i, and a 3.24 LSD out of a 2002 Z3M.

You mentioned Akebono brake pads. I once tried them on my Jetta and must not have had the right type of pad. They were the right part number but they seemed to take longer to stop the car than the ones I had. I took them off and got a set of Stop Tech para aramid pads that are slightly better than OEM for stopping. I think they are even advertised as being more fade resistant and fading is a very common thing with many brakes.

I think I've seen that one at a car show actually. It has a Corvette engine. Just search "Starion Corvette Engine" and you'll see it immediately. It just doesn't have the massive rear wing on it in the video and the decals aren't exactly the same now either is different. And that vent on the side is black now, but it's definitely the same car.
