And no, it’s not original. And yet the most brilliant BMW M3 is perfection in its purest form.
The status of the BMW M3 of the E30 generation has almost reached mythical proportions. It’s a driving legend. It is the origin of everything that makes cars in general and BMWs in particular so much fun. A Group A homologation special is always a recipe for a cool car.
It was also the first time for BMW to give the 3 Series the sporty M treatment. A high revving and great sounding four-cylinder, fabulous road holding, gossamer handling and pure communication between driver and machine ensure that this car is unsurpassed. Think of it like this: the E30 M3 is like The Beatles playing live and acoustically. The F80 M3 is a Scooter concert at Borussia Dortmund station. Yes, the latter is harder and you have fun too, but the former is more brilliant.
John Larsson’s Garage
Anyway, on to the subject and that is the most brilliant BMW M3 of all time. It is a project John Larsson’s Garage from Sweden. Everything is really great. The green paint (Oak Green) is very cool, especially in combination with the peanut butter leather interior. The rims are perhaps one inch too big, although the stance is really great. The wheel arches are very nicely filled.
Then the engine. That is not the well-known S14B23 four-cylinder, but the S54 from the M3 E46. The displacement of this engine was subsequently increased to 3.7 liters. Furthermore, the engine is equipped with camshafts of the S54B32HP from the M3 CSL. In addition, the pistons, cooling and crankshaft have been addressed by Koehler Racing.
Wheels most brilliant BMW M3
The rims come from Cinel Wheels. That is a fairly small but high-quality manufacturer of rims that focus on motorsport and high-end wheels for road cars. A bit like Dymag and Apptech more focused on performance and quality than style and fashion. They are forged from one block and therefore very strong and light. In terms of price, you should think about 1,000 euros (per wheel). But man, they look good.
The chassis is fully adjustable to the wishes of the – undoubtedly super happy – driver. There are also the necessary beautiful details. What about the BMW Motorsport inscription in the door handles? Or the half roll cage and racing fairings?
Also a nice detail, the audio has a downgrade undergo. There is a Blaupunkt system with only one speaker. Perfect for listening to the Radio 10 Gold news. For the rest, you put that 3.7 engine to work to let your ears enjoy. Interested? It’s yours for about one and a half tons!
