M52-Swapped BMW E30 Coupe

This 1988 BMW E30 has undergone a transformation, featuring an M52B28TU engine upgrade. The exterior has been refreshed with a full respray in Twilight Amethyst, complemented by styling additions like an iS front lip, M Tech 1 boot spoiler, and Touring side skirts. The interior boasts a unique caramel leather retrim with reshaped rear seats in E30 M3 style, plus a Nardi deep dish wheel and gearknob. The car also features a wire-tucked engine bay, a carbon Simota air intake, and a custom exhaust system. Handling upgrades include Air Lift Performance 3P suspension, an E46 330 brake setup, and custom BBS RS 17" split rims.
