As soon as you think of Latvia, you certainly don't immediately think of the tuning scene there. But in the small Baltic state there is a small but fine scene that revolves around the Modification of automobiles cares, and from there comes an extremely extraordinary one BMW E30. This was made by his tuner Edgar Gumilev very strikingly designed and is in perfect condition. Especially in the new EU member states of Eastern and Northeastern Europe, BMW seems to be a very popular brand when it comes to tuning and vehicle refinement, and so it is not surprising that this tuning project that we are presenting to you today is also a BMW.

The blue miracle!

Above all that bright blue paint is immediately noticeable on the E30. In combination with the Rainbow ornament, which was placed at the height of the window line and loosens up the design a little, everything looks light and relaxed, and is a little reminiscent of beautiful summer days. Also the Headlights were tintedto create a tone-on-tone effect. To look for the Lowering To offer enough space for the wheels so that nothing rubs against the body, the wheel arches are discreet widened, by the wheel arches drawn were.

This is how a Widebody effect, which gives the classic 3 Series an even sportier look. For the corresponding depth a BC Racing coilover kit built in, which presses the E30 so close to the asphalt that in autumn it hits the leaves with its Front spoiler from Alpina can collect. There were also 17 × 8,5 inch rims on the front axle, and 17 × 10,5 incher installed at the rear. The rims are three-part OZ Futura wheels. The absolute highlight, however, is the fact that two thirds of the bonnet are missingso that almost the entire drive unit is exposed, as the new engine, which by the way is a 3-liter in-line six-cylinder from a BMW E46 acts, otherwise there would be no space in the engine compartment.

In Germany it would be forbidden to move such a vehicle on public roads, as the police and the vehicle intervene immediately shut down would. So the BMW would be just one in this country Trailer Queenthat could be presented to the public at tuning meetings.

Interior with BMW Alpina flair from the 80s!

The cockpit was only slightly modified, but the extremely rare ones Recaro orthopedic seats with electrical adjustment bring back the feeling of luxury of bygone times. In addition, held Sports steering wheel with wooden wreath and three-spoke optics from Raid Einzug. Otherwise everything is largely original in the interior of the E30, and apparently in very good condition with only a few signs of wear.

3-liter in-line six-cylinder from the E46

The old 2,7-liter in-line six-cylinder, which only made 123 hp, had to give up the ghost before tuner Edgar Gumilev could complete the project. Because of the engine failure, a much more modern one held up 3-liter in-line six-cylinder with the designation M54B30 Moved into the car, which made 231 hp and about 300 Newton meters of maximum torque. The motor is coupled to a Five-speed manual, and the power is sent to the Rear wheels transfer. Due to the low weight of the old E30, the engine should have an easy time with the BMW.
