Hats off, that is fantastic!

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! 80 - 100k for the V8 swap?! That's a spicy meatball.

Congrats on the magazine feature, you deserve the acknowledgement after building such unique machine.

Sylon · 08-10-2014, 06:38 AM

Thanks for the support everyone.

- $80-100k for the suspension, motor, body and full conversion. So basically if one had a 135i and wanted to replicate my car. You need an entire m3 to make it.

Dackelone · 08-10-2014, 03:02 PM

Congrats!

Anthony B · 08-10-2014, 05:20 PM

Your car is just perfection, the upmost respect sir

Joseph@x-ph.com · 08-16-2014, 04:17 PM

Congrats !

swagon · 08-17-2014, 02:57 AM

Epic Epic Epic

Solo_M_Tech · 08-17-2014, 05:40 AM

That is a very nice build! Congrats!

I want to do the same when I return to the U.S. but I'm gonna leave the car looking like a regular 135i. No 1M treatment. Sleeper....

lastMleft · 08-17-2014, 07:00 AM

Fantastic!! I've always been a fan

that would be awesome. where in the states are you located? my shop would love to help you build that car. the guys have a full build list and the wiring diagram for the swap. they do excellent work. All my cars electronics work, ac works, abs works, etc. its like a factory car.

I currently live in Germany and the going rate for the S65 swap is 20k euros.... So i'm waiting till i get back. I will be in California at school in 2016. I'd love to learn more.

if your planning the swap then, then i would go through Performance Technic. It will be cheaper than 20k euros.

Wow, congrats! Car looks insane

Echiban · 08-18-2014, 09:32 AM
