Article from 1988 BMW M3 V10 project
Body was acid dipped to remove all paint and glue leaving us with a bare metal tub to work with. Unfortunately a poor job was done and will later be cleaned up. ![]() ![]() All new parts arrived from BMW including all E90 (2007 3 series) subframes, suspension, rear end, Moton shocks and Brembo Gran Turismo big brake kit with 15" rotors. Last but not least the new M5 V10 engine power plant with transmission/differential and components. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Chassis build contd. Engine fitment ![]() Once the motor was fitted and MORE measurements where taken the body was removed once again to remove the motor. The body was then placed back onto the chassis to weld in the permanent frame rails fabricated to fit the E90 sub-frames. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After word .. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

That sounds utterly insane! A V10 in an e30 shell. Nuts. But I think that you've got your images and links confused. The bottom 3 pics (the afters) don't look like the same car and the two links to the original article both return to this thread. ![]() |

Working Link...
I bet the balance of the car is way off and it probably doesn't handle anywhere like the original setup! |
