I'd love to know the full amount a build like this costs unless I missed it in the video.
Big Boss in my opinion has some top-class builds, but just a place that never "sat" well with me. For no real reason.

But... this build looks to be done well.
Id be happy to cruise around in a "fake" M3 if it looked and sounded like this.

I watched till the end, so that I wouldn't judge harshly.. Each to their own though..

All that effort and they didn't spend some cents S54/S50/M54 swapping it...

 

[individj]

cool...with all that effort id put on a proper front bumper

Seems like a true passion project.
Hard to insure a car like this, given its unique Frankenstein (mixture of parts from other cars) nature.
I also suspect that it is also the reason why the owner couldn't sell the car.

Respect the passion, but it is not for me.

You simply cannot put a price on a build like this. You build it with your heart not your head. Nice to see the guy actually driving it.
If I had to do this I would definitely drop in a S50.

Not a bad build at all.
He set out to capture the looks and he got that right.

Great respect to the builder and owner of this car. Many hours and monies put in here

From personal experience on these types of "custom" projects, costs can very quickly escalate to significantly more than the market value of the car as there is no real market value for something like this.

Pity he didn't do the motor. Even if it was a 2J or something other than the appropriate motor, give the thing some 'go' to match with the 'show'.

 

[Tinuva]

The stuff of dreams. Man got what he wanted. Obviously specific to what he wanted. Respect for the small details he looked at. This car is also not for me but I appreciate the effort that was put in.

Every car person will have their own specific dream car.

Looks good, it definitely needs an M engine and it will be complete in my view.

 

[TBP88]

Not sure anyone here has watched, but if you're a DSTV/Showmax sub maybe check out Karbrasse? Ep2 has some E30s in it that look pretty neat.

Might be trying to cash in on any hype cars.co.za episode may have brought. Can’t blame him if that is the case. I suspect this is the most expensive his car will ever be.

 

[Spanky]

Bro is smoking some good shiz with that asking price

 

[maleven-GP]

I did say in the other thread that "each to their own"..

Having said that, this sale will only appeal to a limited market on that price range..

It could be my biased budget speaking, but this is still nothing but a clean 325i that deserves R100-150k 🤞🏽..

Clean and original 325i, is already fetching close to that without the superfluous mods..

Wonder how much it sold for
