After several virtual Restomod vehicles like that Toyota Supra (A70), the Maturo Stradale or the Singer Vehicle 964 Convertible Is it time for a "real“ Vehicle. And there is a classic one BMW E30 M3 to see, which received immense changes under the sheet metal. And responsible for the project is a tuner from Sweden. Specifically, it was the team fromJohn's garage“ about the owner John larsson. They had the idea to tune the legendary M3 E30 E46-M3 six-cylinder to put and this with 420 PS to send to the start. The engine has but since the tuning 3,7 liter displacement and the vehicle can be bought at a price of €150.000. Of course, some will now cry out, because this time a normal E30 sedan was not converted to M3 optics, but the base vehicle is actually a real M3 of the E30 series. We like that fact...
BMW E30 M3 Restomod
The potent coupe, which has long achieved cult status, lost its S14 four-cylinder and now enjoys a befitting one six-cylinder under the hood. According to Larsson, the aim was to develop the "optimal BMW M3". And that was not possible with the production engine. The result is that BMW M3 Evolution 3.7 in the noble Oak Green Metallic with a completely restored Body from 1987. In the course of restoration all components were either renewed directly or at least overhauled by hand. Since the conversion, the classic shines in new car condition and the expansion of the four-cylinder is also completely understandable for us. The engine is certainly an icon in its own right, but today it is certainly "not the optimum" for propulsion befitting its status. Of the Line six-cylinder from the M3 E46 was from Koehler Racing built and enjoys special Pistons & Connecting Rods, a big one cooler package, there was a new one crankshaft and also the one mentioned engine capacity to 3,7 liters.

With the camshafts from the rare CSL, a lightweight flywheel and the manual one, also derived from the M3 E46 Six-speed manual including reinforced Sachs coupling will the power to the Rear wheels distributed. And so that the power on both sides can provide the same propulsion, another one was installed differential lock. Strong 420 hp meet the light E30 restomod and make a newly manufactured one Sports exhaust system with slanted twin tailpipes noticeable. And of course, the performance is delayed again as befits its status. And with one coming from the house of Porsche Brembo sports braking system, which are behind gold-colored lacquered 18-inch DTM forged wheels sit. Contact with the road allows a fully adjustable sports suspension and visually you set small accents like with Door handles with BMW Motorsport lettering or that of the M3 Evo rear spoiler.

And of course it is Cabin no longer serial. You can see high-quality black since the restoration Alcantara on almost all surfaces, there was a black one Leather Steering Wheels with brown 12 o'clock marker and the brown ones are definitely a highlight Sports Seats. There was also an adjustable one Sports pedals with standing pedals and an adjustable one brake balance. And even a handmade one Clubsport roll cage is installed. Although useless in our opinion – because of the sound of the six-cylinder – is also another Blaupunkt Bluetooth radio in combination with a new one Speaker system installed.
