This BMW E30 M3 restomod combines classic E30 styling with modern performance upgrades and a 250hp M54 engine swap. The widebody build weighs approximately 1150kg and features BMW M4 brakes front and rear, ABS integrated beneath the dashboard, BC Racing coilovers and NS-2R tires. With its lightweight chassis, upgraded braking system and carefully integrated modifications, the E30 is built to deliver an engaging driving experience on the Nürburgring.

Behind the wheel, the car impresses with its lightweight feel, powerful and controllable brakes and playful chassis balance. The main criticism is the throttle response and rev hang, which makes heel-and-toe downshifts difficult due to the engine continuing to rev after the throttle is released. Despite this issue, the E30 M3 restomod is described as remarkably complete, with air conditioning, strong brakes and a highly controllable chassis. An S54 engine swap is also planned, potentially taking the build to another level. For more content like this one follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
