That is...whoa...the amount of custom stuff in that car, the skill that went in to make it...that's incredible. The guy who's paying probably has unlimited funds too...

Take some serious coin to purchase a complete brand new M5 drivetrain wouldn't it. How much influence would you need to convince BMW to even sell it to you in the first place.

yet alone the 100's of hours of custom fabrication to make it all fit.

Gives a whole new dimension to the term - blank cheque build.

The start of the thread states that he is a BMW collector, maybe he's bought that many that they offer him the privelege of exclusive parts. Or maybe he crashed something in his collection...

Hemi in a Sprite!

I was up at the Nationals one year and a SA Sprite fitted with a bridgeported rotary engine was running around Winton. That thing was quick as hell along the straights.

Most certainly.

The E30 is one of those ageless silhouettes; it (this build) wouldn't make sense on but a handful of cars.
