I take it you're going to UD with the SIC guys. Are you joining them at W'see too?

If so, see you in Austria





Side note - "OE Perfectionists" and "dont stray away from factory settings" types seem to be popular on this site, why has your club banner got an E30 M3 running 17" wheels on it?

Yeah I'll be at UD and hopefully Worthersee with them too. See you then.

Also, its an m3 that is clearly being looked after so others can see one that hasnt been abused and f-ed about with; so give the man some credit for buying an icon and enjoying it in his own way.

How very dare you!

It's not any car, it's an E30 M3. These things are not meant to be touched or driven, they are purely for putting on a pedestal, religious ceremonies and occasional animal sacrifices.



If it's done right like the video I posted, then good times! :cool:
Its done right. no corners cut at all. The air will be the least of everyone's worries when they see the rest of the car.
haha, can't wait to see that!

Not carbon badges. Original badges new from BMW with black vinyl over the propellers. A last minute edition and I'm not sure I like them myself but don't let a couple of tiny stickers get in the way of what it is.

I had it high on the motorway as I had a few passengers and wanted to drive it properly. That height isn't far off factory height.

The lights are genuine startecs (not the purple tint ones, the rarer black tint). They are rarer period modification that suits this car as it is very modified.

Orange. Well it is inka orange the same colour as the jagermeister dtm cars.

I'm sure there will be much divided opinion on most the modifications to this car. I however love every detail. That is all that really matters.

Any turd that is orange is OK in my book :) Even a M3, it is not as if you 'ruined' a nice one !

The white one on LM's ?

If it is, then I think you'll find he has done some strategic welding. It's not just an M3 with an S54 with charger thrown in

Suspension, brakes and everything else is proper with that car

I agree it is proper. The guy spent a small fortune on it to make it the best and it was the 1st E30 M3 I had seen with that engine set.

Here are a few pics for all of you lovely people.

Huge thanks to Kos for the last minute late night detailing and quite a few of these pics were taken by him too (the good ones) the rest are from my phone and couple that i have seen on instagram.

StudioIncar and Stylehaus did the majority of the hard work.

Look out for the www.speedhunters.com and Performance BMW features coming very soon.

That looks really really nice and well executed! :cool:

I think 'some' that were too hasty to shoot the car down in the first 2 pages will now at least acknowledge that they were abit too quick to condemn...... but then again maybe not!

Its not original, some mods may not be to everyones liking... but most modders will have to say well done Singh.. :thumb:
