apparently so... False advertising for the loss.. Lame.

Corrected the thread title for you..

Another option would be use the name they gave it.. World’s Fastest Detail Wagen

Bra-fucking-vo!

Yes such a great build

askjeeves · 11-03-2016, 09:08 PM

Saw this today. It looked awesome! Unfortunately the hood was closed when I saw it.

KevinM · 11-03-2016, 09:55 PM

Fantastic. Thanks for posting. I'll add to the "pile-on" that this car should have some sort of S-series engine in it. The S54 would be more useful for the M3 heritage, and the S62 a better choice for this particular car's vocation.

Still, very cool.

Terry Sayther in Austin, Tx built a 4-door E30 M3 wagon quite a few years ago that has an S54 motor.

What were some of the constraints that drove transplanting the M60 V8 over the S65? Cost, simplicity?

Ricfutures · 11-03-2016, 11:26 PM

Absolutely amazing. If I had to nitpick it would be to remove the second pillar. Otherwise an amazing build.

Kankles · 11-04-2016, 12:34 AM

Very cool and ambitious build (deleting rear doors must have been a PITA).

For all those in the "it's not a real M" camp, I refer you to the 3er GT M sport and every other M Sport for that matter. The point is no one can ever whore out the M name more than BMW does themselves.

.BMW. · 11-04-2016, 12:55 AM

Great build!

Bamaben · 11-04-2016, 06:43 AM

Don't call it an M3 if it isn't. Only BMW Motorsports makes a genuine M car.
Call it a 2 door e30 T

Meast · 11-04-2016, 08:32 AM

Their sales are about to jump up by 40%!

marcva · 11-04-2016, 08:41 AM

I know it's a Griot's car, but I wouldn't want those wheels without the old, toxic, discontinued Quicksilver wheel cleaner. I had similar wheels on my first E36, and that formulation was the one and only spray on, hose off cleaner I've ever used. I try to stick with more open wheel patterns, though I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Fikse FM10s.

3s-a-charm · 11-05-2016, 06:33 AM

Nice build, but why not a quad exhaust if you are going for an M3 look? And the non-M engine is an odd choice as well. The product display is a little weird too but I understand the purpose of it (shows and promotion) - it just isn't that functional.

Detailers Domain · 11-05-2016, 12:37 PM

very nice!

IntegraXTR · 11-07-2016, 04:51 PM

Saw it a couple days ago, the paint was amazing! It was a shame that it was sitting outside
