Overview

With forward motivation coming from a 4.0L M60 V8 engine, this E30 stays true to the brand by raiding BMW’s parts bins. Power is routed to a ZF transmission from a E34 by way of a M5 clutch, and makes its way back to a limited-slip differential out of a Z3. Steering feel is improved by a Z3 steering rack, and adjustable coilovers help bring handling to the next level.
