BMW M5 V10 motor into an E30 M3!

Most Extreme engine swap. Ever. Wow those are some serious fabrication skills to pull that off. Amazing!!!

Wow. Just wow.

So... who's gonna do something similar to cram a V12 TDI into a Passat?

edit: Even better. Someone stuff a V12 TDI into a Volvo 240 DL.

You have to hand it to them, that's some impressive fabrication. I have to wonder if it was really worth it though. I'm sure it's fast but you can already do so much with the smaller engines you have to ask if it was really neccesary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2851GdzN-I

Not worth it...

Probably not worth it, but when you have ridiculous amounts of money, you do stupid things with it.

I personally like the '67 Mustang Fastback in the background of some of those pictures. It looks like a Bullet clone. I'd rather dump retarded money into that instead of that POS BMW.

I'd be okay with a 3.0TDI in that Mustang. Oh what the heck...a V10 TDI!

And one careless moment to total the whole thing.......

not really...

It all depends how you do it. Anytime I modify a classic that is actually worth something, I save and store all of the original parts just in case that I decide to put everything back to its original state.

That BMW ain't worth jack (or to be more accurate, it's depreciating in value). You can total it if you want. I'm sure the owner can afford to do just that!

I don't know what they did for braking and handling on that custom-built car, but I'm betting the money could be better spent on a new M3.

But, if you're a BMW collector and already have a lot of stock or enhanced cars, maybe custom is the way you want to go . . .
