It might look gash, but it seems the builders knew what they're doing. I'd expect some serious power under that bonnet, judging by the builder's website:

well done that man !!
CC racing it is !!
while its not my cup of tea, the engine is spot on.
a genuine 550+ rear wheel BHP m20 powered monster !!
the engineering gone into it is superb. i have heard stories about these guys and had seen the car about town over the years. i finally collard the owner of the car and i was invited to their work shop for a coffee and a chat.
here's under the hood
the wheels are centre lock Tora alloys, 6pot willwoods on the front and 4 pots on the back, with independant handbrake caliper,
e36 m3 read diff and mountings, and lots more. and it has fully functioning AC. perfectly usable and will do the 1/4 mile comforatbly in 11 seconds. the diffused and splitteres are functional
the guy has oned the 320i from new. its his baby and one of his demo cars.
the metalic gold one pictured above is its sister car built for a customer. its equaly mint and as powerful
the red one makeks over 500 wheel BHP from 5500 rpm to 7500rpm. a huge power band. its a 2.7 with ETA crank, trick internals and the thing limiting it at the moment are rods. it bent one valve when it was reved to 81000rpm. a rocker broke so he has some billet ones on order.
this is not a turbo conversion, this is fully engineered car.

thats what the guy on the R6 bike said
its so refined and smooth, relentless power and has decent traction from 215/40 tyres.
the car will pull a serious top speed. the carbon splitter, side skirts and diffuser are functional

You would have thought someone with that much time skill and money would have more taste, did he say why he had made it look like this??
Great engine and hats off to the engineering that’s gone in to it but spoilt by how it looks, it’s up there with some of the worst looking E30's ever built
It’s even got a twin exhaust with red anodized tips FFS
