What we have here is an original BMW E30 M3, but one that’s been 'Enhanced and Evolved' by Redux. Yes, it’s a restomod, which means you can’t refer to it as a Redux M3, else BMW’s lawyers could descend on you. It is and remains a BMW E30 M3. But one that’s been fettled in the pursuit of perfection. Which has made it rather expensive. £330,000 kind of expensive. On top of the donor E30 M3 you’ll have handed over. Basically, this or a Ferrari SF90, then. Quite a lot to get your wallet around. Luckily, Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage is here to help.

Beautiful car. Loved the original E30 M3 and a restored carbon Fiber version would be a dream come true. Only thing that doesn’t look up to snuff are those seats. They look like they’re sofa recliners with a cheap loose fitting plastic cover on them.

Great video, beautiful car, but that all-n price tag of around £400,000 is insane. I know it's hand-built with carbon panels and a superb engine and chassis, but £400,000? You could get a BMW M2 CS, a good condition E46 M3 CSL and an E30 M3 Sport Evolution with just 492 miles (currently for sale on Pistonheads) for less than the price of one of these. So... this or those three?

It's a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder with probably the greatest racing pedigree of all time behind it.

It's nigh impossible to make a great NA 4 cylinder. Only one Japanese, one German and one British manufacturer have done it imo.

On top none of this stuff is serial production which means that the production cost is gonna be much much higher than it is for the big brands. Its also as good of a quality as you could possibly get. Mletzko who is a newer 911 tuner spoke out about costs and he was pouring millions into those cars before there was any revenue.

For some reason, when you get a hot rodded or racing engine built and the capacity is increased by a lot, that's how it sometimes is. I have a car which does the same thing since the engine was freshly built and 10yrs later, compression and power figures are still perfect (although it has always used a bit of oil). An engine guy tried to explain it to me once, something about the bores can sometimes go slightly oval when they're being enlarged and it comes with the territory.

Perfectionist, attention to detail? Gauges not working and a lot of blue oil smoke from the exhaust. That engine is not healthy and if you used the 2.3L block as mentioned with the 2.5L 87mm crank, the cylinders will warp when bored to 95mm. Explaining the blue smoke under load. Clearly visible in many scenes. The S14B25 had a different block. Getting 300 BHP out of a S14 takes extreme revs of at least 9000 and the corresponding valve train. This one is revving no more than 7500 by the sound of it. Not impressed. To the degree of calling it a scam. How come the test driver detects none of this? Is this a review or a paid infomercial?

Better use the 260/6 from a M30 E32/E34 or add an oil cooler if you want to retain the gear shift pattern. Had 2 Cecottos and one Evo 2. Never a Sport Evo but quite a few of those B25 engines. Never liked the S14 though. Swapped in the S38 instead. Like 25y ago.

In the long run, this will only show up as a heavily modified BMW … and probably, in some countries, forbidden to drive on public roads due to its modifications.

I think it is cool and there are tons of other restomods out there that are cool but if you have to destroy an actual classic and drop 300k on top it is a losing proposition. If that guy had kept his Evo 2 stock it would probably be worth 400k in 10 years, these mods will just age terribly and make the car worth less in the future when technology improves exponentially. Why do you think stock Supra Turbo's sell for 200k while heavily modded ones are much cheaper.... I do think the car is cool but the whole reason for owning a vintage car is to drive it as it was, if you want peformance than buy a new M2 which is similar size and tons more power

These cars are rare, very well made restomods that gives the owners the performance of a new car with the essence and soul of an older car. Cars these days are so mass produced that the soul is lost, M2 for example...electric steering, fake exhaust noise through the speakers. You can't compare Redux to the eBay mods put on their 98' Supra. If you have to compare it, compare it to an original Top Secret Supra...find me one of those that's under 200k.

If they would've done the build on a normal E30 3 series like a 325i or a 318i and not to an original M3, I'd be far more inclined to doing that rather than possibly ruin the value of a rare car. Still, what Redux have done here is absolutely INCREDIBLE

Correct me if i am mistaken, but the E30 325i did more racing and got more wins than the M3 did it not? it was DTM that BMW made the M3 (mainly) and then carried on to other races, but the 325i started racing for BMW and continued (and still continues till today).

Thanks for the video. The restomod market is on fire . Redux for e30, Amos Futurista for the Delta Integrale . $400K is a lot of money but these will be all sold. Cars in this modern era all sort of look the same and performance numbers are off the charts but don’t offer that analog feel these restomods offer .

the torque isn't mentioned, I know that the racing m3 e30s lacked torque when they had 300 hp but had 10,000-ish rpm

It's a litte OTT but hat off to Redux for having kept the S14. Woud have been so easy to shove a 3.8 or any other IL6, but no, they kept the spirit. Bravo. Not bling like the Singer either. All in subtlety. The thinking man's restomod. Nice!

Great attention to detail, but you wouldn’t expect any less from Retropower. For me I’d take the standard red M3 in this video and have the redlux engine or similar.

If you want an improved E30 M3 driving experience, get your ARDS and buy/build a race version with AMSpeed. Probably far less than this
