S85 V10 BMW M3 E30
Bill Hamilton transformed a US-spec BMW E30 M3 into a right-hand drive beast by installing a BMW S85 V10 engine. The V10 utilizes a PPM 5.8 L stroker kit, including an 84 mm stroke billet crank, forged pistons, and H-beam rods. Additional upgrades include ported heads, Schrick camshafts, and Dinan valve springs, producing 496 horsepower. An E90 M3 six-speed manual transmission channels power through a custom driveshaft to a Quaife LSD-equipped E30 rear end. The brake system features PPM six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers with large rotors.
