    Good to see newer pics of that build. Quite impressive. Would love to know the $ that'll run. Would bet close to $100k in parts alone...

    Certainly an impressive exercise in spending.
    An E30 body shell onto an existing, thoroughly engineered chassis already using this powertrain would seem a better choice. Or simply an LS V-8 with some work that would outperform the 10 lung Bavarian.
    Neither would cost near as much though so bragging rights would be less.
    I wonder if this car will ever see a track and how it will perform.

    Impressive build. I find the exterior lacks a bit of finishing. I think the bumper trim is not there... I'm a tough customer. Not about the hypersilver color either. Impressive, nevertheless.
