Here is quite the project car that we were involved with here at Vivid Racing. This is a BUILD BREAKDOWN as we show off this 1988 BMW M3 E30 that was transformed into a total monster. This BMW E30 has been fully built to deliver performance, handling, and style. Powered by an S50 engine from a ‘95 M3, it has been boosted with an Active Autowerke Stage 1 Supercharger kit and paired with a custom 2.5” header-back exhaust. This build is as aggressive as it is clean! With KW V3 coilovers and Wilwood 6-piston brakes, it’s dialed in for the track and the streets.
