Hi guys. Has anyone done this already. I'm looking to do the same for my new project. Need some advice and also a e36 m3 donor car if anyone knows of one. The complete car would be great.

Thanx

There was an article in TBMW some time back about an E30 with an E36 M3 engine, can't remember if it was Evo though,
(That car is now in Ireland,)
The end result looked stunning & "factory",
:D

What mods does it have? They rarely make factory power standard.. Which means you have 'got' up to an extra 40bhp there..

No. Its a 3.0 with an autobox. A pleasant enough sh1tbox to waft about in at 18mpg, IF it is a nice car but it won't be :(

Send it to China and help the enviroment ! :)

15k ? I do know that BMW used to charge approx £500 extra back in the 80s to make a car ugly and less desireable, yes peeps, the original owner of this donor vehicle (sorry Paul ! :) ) would have been bummed an extra monkey to ruin it ! :eek:

Not quite, the car he traded in for the quatroporte would be worth about 40 - 50k now if kept right IMO.
