This 1988 BMW E30 M3 features a supercharged S50 engine swap. The aluminum block comes from a 2.8-liter Z3, increased to 3.0 liters with a 1997 M3 S50 crankshaft, Schrick camshafts, and a Haltech engine management system. The build includes a custom fabricated widebody, Ground Control coilovers, Brembo brakes, and Fikse FM10 wheels.
