Ok I often look for E30 pictures using diferent search criteria as I am still looking for details/pictures of the mystical Hartge touring with all the race graphics.

Anyway I digress, I stumbled upon this ...... :eek:

I was going to add a "sorry if its a repost" but I have never seen it here and don't even know what to search for to check.

Stunning prep on the shell.

Whats E30 about it?? At most its got a little bit of E30 bodywork and thats about it. You might as well call an F14 a Cessna, they've both got ally panels somewhere.

Basically like a modern day DTM car. They share next to nothing.

It's still got a BMW engine which is more in keeping with an E30 than most of the heavily modified US e30s.

I love the hidden roll-cage in it too :cool:


If ye want a car to question is it still and E30, I'd go with this one...

Yep, and all that work to have a sorted chassis only to stick in a cheap M30 :mad:

I like this car, I think the dudes in the original thread are just jealous. I'd still class it as an E30 because that's an original body shell, it's no space-frame special.

It's very impressive but surely on anything other than a track it's going to be horrible to drive with wheels that size and the ride set that low.

Or is it only being built to track :mad:
