E30 M3 V10 - built from ground up

Easily one the most insane builds out there. I just wish they did something different with the dash :slap:

Just to summarize (Note this is from memory, don't quote me on this):
-Brand new M5 V10 & Gearbox
-Engine got a performance upgrade and it's now a 5.7L producing something like 640bhp. (I can't remember what upgrade though)
-E92 suspension

All in all... :clap::clap:

EDIT: Here is a short clip:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="

Another:

And just to give you all an idea of how lethal the E30 V10 combo is, here is a vid of another E30 M3 V10 (Still stock engine as far as I know) thrashing a M3 V8. You only need to watch like the first 40sec.

Watching that, I can only imagine what the car in the first post is capable of. :drool::drool:

I think that car belongs to a guy who is 21 or something. I've seen this post before and read something to that effect.

What I am just wondering is why does it have 3 pedals when the M5 V10 only came with a SMG box

If I remember it's either USA or Europe or both that got the V10 in manual guise as well.

Cannot be USA as they can't drive stick...

IIRC, I believe it was only USA that got the manuals. They said there was enough demand to warrant it. I know a large majority of their cars are automatic, so not sure how that works...

Some of their newer higher performance cars like corvettes come out in manual, so I guess it wouldn't be to surprising that you could also get the M5 in a manual.
Would have been awesome if we were given that option here in SA, but it would have been even more awesome if I actually had an M5

This link goes into a lot more information about the build,I saw it ages ago and its easily my favourtie project that I have seen so far.... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2929437 It also tells you where they got the manual box from.There is an M6 V10 engine on Ebay for £8K here in the UK,if I could afford it I would have it for sure.....
