Is that a BMW V10 (5l) or some other crate motor? The fuel injection setup looks great.

can't help but wonder, is it cost effective,
will it be cheaper/better then buying a new M3 or maybe M5? The build is really impressive, and i'm sure the V10 will make that thing haul ass. But will it be as balanced as something BMW would make in terms of handling and performance?

I'm just glad they didn't cut up a original E30 M. They are getting very hard to find and I have a soft spot for those cars.

Strip out an M5 and be done with it.

Very impressive. But I suspect that they also lost a lot of the E30 M3 goodness. I'd be very interested how it drives, now with a massive V10 out front and an entirely new chassis and suspension.

Wow.
Two things boggle my mind: 1. The craftsmanship is just astounding on many levels. The talent to do that type of work is amazing. 2. Some dude told that shop "Hey, make me a V10 E30 and here's my checkbook".

Anyone who worries about the "balance" of that car just needs to re-learn some driving skills.
A little slower in, you can throttle steer the car, & a heck of a lot of torque to drive the car out. I can't stand the way a viper v10 sounds. The BMW V10 has a hell of a nice sound. I would love to know the corner weights of before and after.

that's all good on a flat tarmac road, but the road where i go nuts in my bimmer aren't flat at all.
And that's when you do need a balanced car... No amount of skill can compensate for a poorly configured car... I'm sure they made a really good effort, but the folks at BMW do it for a living, and they do test a lot to get their results... So again, money spent on this, vs money spent on a factory M3 or M5... cost/effectiveness... I'm not even talking about depreciation over time...

What could be more unbalanced than a rear engined RWD car?
