Future Project: E30 M3 Convertible replica, powered by an S54

So now that the M3 is pretty much done (once the Carbon Fiber Box is installed) I was thinking of what my next car is going to be. I’ve always loved the E30 looks so the logical next car would be a convertible M3 replica. I say replica because the US never received a Convertible E30 M3.

Nowadays, you can pick up a E30 vert in rough shape for peanuts. Probably between 1-2k. Then you need the E30 body panels, a new paint job and the exterior is all set. Of course the E30 stock 6 cylinder won’t be enough for me 🙂 so the S54 from the E46 M3 will do just fine. The S54 is even more powerful then the S50B32 that’s in the M3 now and can rev higher. An S54 can be had with low miles for around $4500 so the car could probably be built somewhere around 12-13k all in.

If this vert project happens then the M3 will certainly begin hitting the track. I’ve been itching to get out there but afraid to break something serious and then not have a car to drive to events during the season.

Here are a couple examples:

This 1st car is more along the lines of what I’m going for. More of a stock look and white on Black 🙂

Sorry for the quality of the pics, they look to be from a cell.

Then there’s Vlad’s car. An amazing replica which had alot more detail done to it then I am looking to do.

  34. Thanks for the strategies you share through this website. In addition, lots of young women exactly who become pregnant don’t even attempt to get health insurance because they dread they probably would not qualify. Although many states at this moment require that insurers provide coverage despite the pre-existing conditions. Rates on all these guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when thinking about the high cost of medical care bills it may be your safer strategy to use to protect your own financial future.
