Welcome to the build of the "Franken M3". The car is a current project of ours which started September of 2007. The idea behind this project was to build the ultimate BMW using the best of the best from BMW's line up. Some may argue whether or not the E30 M3 had much to improve on in the first place? Of course not! The E30 M3 is and always will be a great performer in factory trim and truly is a classic. We've simply started with an E30 M3 and built a whole new breed of the BMW M series.
To start we stripped the car of everything suspension, engine and drive train related then tossed it aside. Come to think of it, nothing but a few miscellaneous body panels and interior pieces have remained thus far.
