Originally manufactured as a BMW 318i, this vehicle has been extensively modified to create a distinctive E30 M3-inspired tribute with considerably more performance than the standard car.

The body has been transformed with wide-body front and rear fenders, an E30 M3-style rear window panel, boot lid, rear spoiler and door mirrors. The rear window has been replaced with a lightweight Perspex unit, further enhancing the car’s purposeful motorsport-inspired appearance.

Under the bonnet is a 2.8-litre M52 inline-six engine sourced from a BMW 328i. The engine has been upgraded with a performance intake and exhaust branches and is managed by a SUSTECH Pro 4 engine-management system. Power is delivered through a six-speed manual transmission.

The front and rear suspension and braking systems have been upgraded using components from a BMW 325, providing improved handling and stopping performance to complement the more powerful six-cylinder engine.

Inside, the car is fitted with German-specification M3 front seats, with a matching rear seat completing the cabin. Alpina-style alloy wheels are fitted, with a staggered narrow-and-wide arrangement adding to the aggressive stance.

This is a highly individual BMW build that combines the iconic appearance of the E30 M3 with the smooth performance of a larger-capacity inline-six engine. Bold, purposeful and guaranteed to stand out, it presents an appealing opportunity for the enthusiast looking for something genuinely different.
